No real difference from what we've been hearing/seeing, cept the price and instruction sheet. APT gives you a link to the Toyota factory fog light instructions while VRD had their own sheet.

Yes, the lines are from the clear bra. Had it installed a few days after getting the car. Love it! The guy that did it was from SoCal originally and had business partners. Maybe he can direct you to them? www.transparentbra.com

hey can anyone tell me which seller id you guys bought it from? Also does it come with a rocker switch and can it be wired to come on or off independently from the headlights? Thanks

Comes with the switch

Can be wired that way, but have to make mods to the lights (not plug and play that way)

anyone know if any cutting has to be done on an 05 with the OEM lip kit? That is my only hold back. These lights look great!

Yes, cutting has to be done to the lipkit in order to fit the vrd/apt fogs.

Just press them in. No need to cut the lip kit. I did it on my tc and have had no problems at all.
