    Does anyone have a list of sort on the compatible fog lights?

    I see one for 2013 Tacoma and one for 4runner and the bracket looks the same as the 3rd Prius one in the pictures. Are they interchangable?

    Also are the 3rd gen fogs in the early version the same as the ones for the later facelift ones? I am seeing all kinds of date range for just Prius along, from 2010-2011 to 2010-2016 to 2012-2014.

    First off, what year do you have?

    I can say that the foglight mounting is the same on our 2011 Prius, a 2014 and 2016 Corolla, and a 2010 Camry SE.

    I believe the Tacoma foglights are larger on later model years, even if they look the same, they probably won't fit.

    The later model Camry's also went to a larger foglight, say 2012 and up.

    You'll have way more options if you base it only on diameter of light as changing out how these mount is easy, so you aren't limited to matching mounts.

    @xliderider - My car is a 2013 Prius 3. Thanks for letting me know that at lease 2010-11 is the same as the 2013-14. The vendor has a list of compatible. I have copied and pasted a partial list.

    @PriusCamper:I thought about putting different mount on a light with a different option than the one that comes with the correct bracket, but at the end, I don't want to mess with it too much and have to return or doubt if I had forced something or if something doesn't click on certain places.

    Here is the partial list I mentioned from a seller that is selling a fog light that would fit the following: With such a comprehensive list of compatibility, it doesn't list 2012-2014 Prius, unbelievable.
    • Toyota 4Runner 2014-2022
    • Toyota Avalon 2007-2012
    • Toyota Camry 2007-2015
    • Toyota Corolla 2009-2016
    • Toyota Highlander 2008-2010
    • Toyota Highlander 2014-2022
    • Toyota Matrix 2009-2013
    • Toyota Prius 2010-2011
    • Toyota Prius 2015-2016
    • Toyota Prius C 2012-2016
    • Toyota Prius V 2012-2016
    • Toyota RAV4 2006-2012
    • Toyota RAV4 2016-2021
    • Toyota Solara 2007-2008
    • Toyota Tacoma 2012-2022
    • Toyota Tundra 2014-2021
    • Toyota Venza 2009-2014
    • Toyota Yaris 2007-2016

    Besides compatiblity, I'm interested in performance. We've got the stock Toyota fog lights (on our 2010 CDN Touring model), and they're pretty much useless. They light up, but that's about it, lol. I'd be interested in something that fits, doesn't burn out frequently, isn't some odd color, basically just does what it should: give you good low/wide illumination.

    Yes, I have installed morimotos XBs and it is ok bright but I feel that I would need more light in very dark areas like forest areas. I am looking into SS3 Diode Dynamics, which is comparable to the Morimoto 4banger. There are a lot of reviews and videos. It looks like it can be useful. There are several versions and some may be too bright if I just needed for a rainy day or something in city streets.

    Since I have started this project, I want something that I feel that I can use.

    I've still got the projector foglights I posted in the other thread you were on.

    They'd be crazy bright with HID ballasts and bulbs. Some LED plug and play H11 bulbs seem to be pretty bright as well.

    Big plus is that they have the cutoffs that keep the light low and out of other people's eyes.

    Thank you, I will take a look at it. I missed the post. Wish I checked this post at the time you have posted it.
