Fog Lights from PC shop arrived

I must say that I am extremely disappointed with the contents of the package.

I was under the assumption that the kit would be more Prius specific (since I ordered it from the PC store).
The switch and the mounting hardware is generic. I have not checked the fit of the lights to the bumper blanks yet but I bet they are not the right size.

Just a heads up to anyone else planning to buy the fog lamp kit.

I will try to salvage something of the kit, Maybe I can make something work. I'll post with updates.

 

OK, So I have some pictures and I took the blank out to get a better view of the fit.
I am beginning to wonder if maybe they shipped the wrong lights to me.
The lights look smaller than the ones in the picture on priuschat shop.

Here is a view of the kit and the bumper blank. (sorry there are so many pictures)

 

I'm not sure how we are supposed to mount them. but if you look at the picture below, you will notice that the lights look professional. also It looks like the lights are bigger as there is no gap at the top of the blank as there would be with the lights I received.
Also the part number on the PC store is BL-1038W as opposed to the ones I received which are NV-1038-WK.

The PC sore also states:
"This product includes everything needed to install and requires no other parts or extensive modification."

One possibility is that maybe the housing is available from Toyota and these lights can be mounted easily within that.

 

There are two push clips and a 10mm bolt that I removed from the aero dynamics plastic directly behind the bumper and the blank.
the tabs are close to the wheel while the bolt is un-painted and bolts into the bumper itself.

Once you have the black aero plastic loose you can pull it back towaards teh wheel far enough to put your head between the plastic shielding and the bumper. you will see one bolt that needs to be removed (10mm socket).
once that is removed, just push the tabs that are connected to the bumper and pull the blank towards the tire.



You will notice that the wiring harness is attached to 3 points on the blank.
these can be removed once you have access to the front portion of the blank.
Just pinch the clips from the front.

 

I believe the housing is part number 81482-47020 for the left and 81481-47020 for the right. They are ~$50 each from my local dealership.
By the way, should you mess up the blanks, they are about $5 cheaper than getting the V housing.

I have not gotten my hands on them yet so can't be sure they will work with the BL kit I bought.
I would love it if someone measured the size of the V Lights to see if they are even close.

 

If you want functional fog lights then you would need to get the correct housing. If you were to use the blanks and cut them out to fit fog lights then your lights would face out at an angle.
Those blanks do not face exactly forward.

I have not installed my kit yet as I am waiting to get the OEM housing to see if I can get the BlingLights I bought to fit in there.
