Okay, so I have a 2007 Mz3 GS trim....but no fogs...recently bought the stock signal switch from the dealer because I have fog wiring all ready to go. Saw em when I installed my lowbeam 50w hid's ;)

So my next quest was to try and find a set of fogs.....no luck :( AT ALL ....tough item to find I now see. so I browsed ebay and saw this company called "thespeedline" http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350102547652&refid=store#rpdId , and they sell them (the oval ones) ..has anyone ever bought aftermarket fogs and installed them on the same trim as mine?

I made a stupid mistake and bought a set of the rectangular ones off a guy on a mazda forum (he lives in the states) only to find it's for the "touring edition" :bang:bang .. a costly mistake....the oem part number I need is RH: BAN7-51-680B LH: BAN7-51-690B. Of course the aftermarket dealers don't use OEM part number references......sighhhh :headbang "once burned twice shy" I think the saying goes...

So if there is ANYONE here on the forum that has bought a set off a reputable dealer, satisfied with the product, and would recommend them...I would prefer to buy off a sponsor here on the board if there is anybody that sells em....especially to avoid getting gang-raped by customs import taxes, broker fees, insurance upcharges etc etc.
Oh and by the way, the stealer charges $ 195 A PIECE!!!!! for a light housing and bezel/frame.....
Anybody know of a sponsor? Nextmod maybe? Thanks for anyone's input

if you are going to buy them here (locally) make sure they have a glass lens..and not plastic. the plastic will deform from the heat of the bulbs. just a heads up.

But glass lens will break once a rock hits it, like my old ones. Replaced the lens with lexan and it's been good.
