Fog lights for front

[RyanGphoto]

Has anyone looked into getting separate fog lights installed on their cars. I love the look (and functionality) of front fog lights on cars. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

There's already a button for it (unused).

I think that button/switch for fog lights is for the rear fog lights that they put on the European cars, but they left off the spec for the American (or I guess North American) cars. Don't know if you might still be able to use the switch to control the front..

I don't mind no switch and just leave them on when the car turns on even.. Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on them... How hard would it be? Any recommendations? How difficult would it be?

Are you thinking of white or yellow fog lights?

Probably white to match as closely as I can the headlights.. It's less about functionality and more for the looks, but of course functionality helps.

For functionality, amber/yellow would be better for cutting through fog. White would function more like a driving light, and the Emira's lights are already second to none in that regard. A low and wide beam amber light would help to illuminate the side of the road in low-visibility fog conditions. We get fog here and white lights reflect back into your face and create quite a bit of glare. If you're driving in fog, it's nice to be able to turn off the regular headlights, leave on the running lights and switch on the fog lights. Less glare, and you can actually see better.

I'd certainly be interested in adding front fog lights to my Emira if anything aftermarket ever pops up. I can attest that the headlights already do a great job, I just think it'd add to the cool factor.

Agreed... I am leaning more for looks with some functionality built in.. I normally don't drive much at night anyway, but would be good to have the extra benefit..

I don't like the yellow lights that look different color than the headlights, so I wouldn't lean that way, even though it's better for visibility...

Thanks

p.s. Now to find somewhere that makes them.

My first thought is: Where would you put them?

I think some thin horizontal fogs might look cool since it would match the headlight drl. I don’t get fog here so no real need for me.

Mount them on the bonnet, install a 2” lift kit, bolt on some black fender flares, swap out the tires for what you see on most SUV’s, and voila, you have a great alternative to a Sterrato at 1/3rd the price!

This could be us, but we're all out here worrying about a little brake dust.

How do I get on the wait list?

Agreed. Something similar to the Porsche 992 front lower air dam lights.

 

[RoryBellows]

Id hesitate on putting fogs in because the car looks so good as is. I would rather have some sort of hidden as possible light bar down low for night time canyon runs.

Good example.

Personally I'm also a fan of the current generation Camry (before the 2025 MY redesign) accent lighting:

There's also an aftermarket version that makes the entire trim pieces light up in that similar curved shape.

The trim pieces on the Emira that have the far L and far R parking sensors seem like a good spot for something like this, but we all know how finicky the sensors have been for some of us and my only worry is that extra heat / light may somehow exacerbate that issue

Perhaps like this.

Now THERE'S something to create as an aftermarket item! @Aerie or @GRP if you can come up with an LED setup like this for both sides of the car, that replaces the factory pieces and comes with a complete installation kit including wiring, and has a feature of being able to switch the LED color to either white or yellow for fog as you like, you'd sell a LOT of them. I'd buy it!
