I have a trd kit I want to put on soon but want to get fogs first. I know the stock oem fogs won't fit. So I have to get the 4in fogs for the trd bumper correct? My question is, if I get the walmart fogs is there any way to make them yellow? Because whenever I search for pics they are all blue. And ive read that these are ok? : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-2005-TOYOTA-CELICA-FOG-LAMPS-lights-2002-2003-2004-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255aa84e16QQitemZ16043 4769430QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries#ht_8121wt_1058

If there is no way to make the walmart fogs yellow I'll just get overlays or bulbs for the ebays. Any help is really appreciated.

Those should work for the trd kit, though i personally would go with the blue walmart ones. Try searching walmart fogs.

Ive read of people using both with no problems and ive already searched i dont need to i can just go to walmart and buy them there. My question was: Is there any way to make them yellow? Because they only come in blue. Idk if the lense can be removed and the blue tint can be removed so a yellow overlay can be put in place? If not the light would be green and i dont want that. If nobody can give me an answer if it will work i'll just buy the ebay ones and use yellow bulbs or a yellow overlay.

Vans yellow fog paint. but first i would track down the clear 4 inch fogs first. and then get the yellow bulbs. there are clear fogs for the celica w/trd bumper on ebay. Pilot also sells clear 4 inch fogs.

Yup, Autopia fogs are what you want for TRD or Varis front bumpers.

I used to have a pair with Blue Batmobile's yellow TRD foglight vinyl overlay with 3000k HIDs. They were YELLOW.

Awesome. I guess i'll get those since no one has ever cracked open a pair of walmart fogs.

Go with the walmart blue ones . I bought them and i will be tinting them yellow with a yellow glass tinting spray can you can pick up at walmart, home depot, lowes. Yea they are blue but compared to my stock fog lights man . The glass walmart fog really lights up the road what a difference.


Heres a thread i created awhile back with pics of stock bulbs in the fog lights on an off see the results

so, for someone with the standard bumper...these would fit? the factory fogs seem a little wimpy, are these 'better'?

I'm telling you, Autopia fogs... If memory serves me correctly, the WalMart blue fogs don't have a reflector over the bulb. That is the main reason I went with Autopia. Another reason why I didn't get the blue fogs was that they would have a tinge of green if I painted or applied a yellow vinyl on them.

I personaly dont like the blue tint on the walmart foglights...
but if you like the blue tint go for it!

The clear ebay fogs you can tint them any color you want or change the light bulb.
Pretty easy, Also i dont think the blue tint is removable from the walmart fogs?

Mine for example i just changed the light bulb witch is 3000k with no tint...
When i have them off they look clear and match my headlights and when they're on ther yellow. Bottom pics on and off!

Its your money, your car..

Wimpy? The OEM fogs seem pretty robust IMO. I mean they are BOLTED to the metal bumper......are made of metal and plastic and glass..right?

I cant be 100% sure, I've never had or owned an OEM fog light.

As far as the Wally-World fogs, they are OK. I have those after my Hella lamps crapped out on me. I am hesitant to buy eBay lamps with little recourse if they are garbage. I'm sure its just me being paranoid.

I would love to see more pictures of the Autopia lights installed on a Celica, not from the front, but from the back side showing the mounting on the bumper. Do these hold up in rain and water?

I meant in terms of light output, not sturdy-ness.

The blue tint is not removable. it's the glass on the foglights.

Do these hold up in rain and water?Yes, but the screws and bolts will start to rust up.

The stock fogs are the best - they've got projector lenses.
