Default 951 (944 Turbo) What is your best option for FOG LAMPS? WTB OEM or aftermarket

Looking to get fog lamps replaced, it's been a while but figured I'd ask.

Anyone have a set for a good deal?

Anyone have any aftermarket options they recommend without major mods?

Please chime in....

Photos welcome!!!!

Its all about the euro lights IMO, adding that driving light into the mix and having it fire with the high beams is very very nice when youre out in the middle of nowhere with the car especially in combo with Cibie or Hella H4's with high output bulbs and 100w bulbs in the driving light section.

I don't have a set for sale, but i do have them in my car. You want to find a set.

Agreed on the euro set, unfortunately neither the US or Euro sets are cheap these days!

Found a set for around $450 shipped, I guess that's a fair deal then?

Yes, I bought the last cheap fog light lens from Worldpac back in 2010 for $180, ever since then, they've been astronomically expensive.

I bought a brand new in box pair of euro lights for $150 a few years back that someone had in their closet, even came with the receipt Sorry for the gloating - had to do it.

I have a complete used set for sale at $350, which includes the lenses and plastic trim. Solid deal for anyone that needs all of them, because they are incredibly expensive when purchased separately.

If this was going on a daily I would consider making an offer however they are going on the shop car that only gets a few miles each year but thanks for posting...

What are the alternatives to OEM, which are now outrageously expensive, yet still very prone to rock damage due to unfortunate location too close to the road?
