APT Fog lights ( ebay VRD's)
#1562
4 other people bought apt fogs after me :D the shipping was fast. they didnt give me tracking number tho. also, i did the mod for the harness to make the fogs turn on when the lows are on. anyone else did this?

Hey guys, I am trying to replace one of the bulbs but its not budging for some reason. Do I have to completely take the clips off the light in order to do this? I tried turning the back of the bulb but not much was happening haha.

Yes. These the cleanest looking ones out there.. I have had my set for 5+ years. No issues with electrical. Plug and Play

You technically can run both no problem. You would have to wire one set as a direct-to-switch wiring since there is only one factory fog light switch located behind the bumper. We have had a few customers that ran our corner fog lights with winjet fog lights. It works because our Meng corner fog lights (Meng, VRD, APT) use the factory fog light harness already pre-existing with the car. Then the winjet fog lights use a direct to switch harness.
There are a few things to keep in mind though. Law enforcement for one, some states have issues with having more than 1 set of fog lights for on road use. And also if you are planning to run HIDs in both fogs, I would definitely use a relay harness.

Sounds like you did your research and definitely have it covered now. Nevertheless, our Meng corner fog lights are typically really all the extra brightness you need for regular daily driving. Not often we hear people needing two sets of fogs on the TC.

I need another pair though as those broke when I hit a tire in middle of highway
are these built better? hm...if you were confident to give a 1 year warranty I would believe you that it's better built

Yeah both the Winjets as well as our fog lights include a six month warranty. Not sure which ebay seller you purchased the fog lights from, but there are definitely a lot of replicas of Winjet fog lights. Ebay is filled with tons of fog lights that have the same style, but can be from different manufacturers.
If you are referring to our Meng fog lights, I would say they are definitely built better than your generic ebay fog light. For one, our lens is glass so it will not yellow on you. Only downside is that you have to be careful to not hit anything on the freeway as it will crack if so. Will last through years of normal driving through rain, no problem. We can't give a 1 year warranty unfortunately but I am more than confident you will not have any issues if properly installed.

Oh wow sorry to hear that. Is your TC slammed? Since it sounds like its a big issue for you, try tinting it with film, or even a 3M clear bra film. Its not 100% but we have seen really good results with some type of protection on these fog lamps.

I would look into a film, but I doubt they'd hold up. When mine broke they looked as though they'd been shot. No worries, though. You gotta pay to play!

Checkout Meng Motorsports. We have a few very popular fog lights for the TC1 =].
The APT VRD Style fog lights technically are compatible with the winjet wiring kit. You just need to manually splice the two wires that connect to each bulb.
