I have decided to start a group buy to help out some members who own the older model soarer and are updating to the new style of front bumpers and want to get the new goodies for a better price.
So hopefully we can get enough interest on these to get good prices.
This will give you the extra touch by adding the round style fog lights plus the grille for the centre.
If we can get a list of 5 people for fog lights + grille together price is as follows:
US$400 plus postage.
I am asking the seller if we can order either one of the other as some members may already have one item. Will know soon.
*price may vary slightly, depending on amount ordered* |

Ok guys just got a email back from the supplier.
Prices are as follows:
- Fog lights + grille = US$400
- Fog lights only = US$300
- Grille only = US$100
Plus postage.
*Note postage is from my location in SA so depending on what you order will depend on the cost. Will get postage costs soon. |

Scott, just one question. Does the grille come with the mounting clips or will we need to order them separately from Toyota? |

Do you know what the clips look like? |

If I recall correctly, the grill has screw holes on the back. Once you insert the grill the holes in the grill line up with the holes in the factory bar, and you simply insert suitable self tappers from inside. |

Yeah just had a look in the forums and they appear to have three screw holes in the bumper so would screw in from the inside to hold it in position. |

Unfortunately not Stuart, the supplier can only sell them as a pair. |

Stuart, I have a spare foglight but I'm unsure whether it's a passenger or driver's side foglight. Shoot me a PM and we'll discuss it from there. |

Response received from supplier saying that they don't normally give out the screws, but since its a large buy they will try and get them thrown in for us. |

They're only meant to be turned when there's poor visibility, e.g. when there's some heavy fog.
With that being said, people leave them on anyway and cops (usually) ignore it. |

Yeah i have heard something like that also, but i don't know which states have different rules.
Either way i have never heard of anyone being defected for having fog lights on without there being any fog. |

Oh and Stuart, the supplier said that they may be able to sell just the one side. I will know in the next email.
Unless Vinh has already helped you out there. |

Yeah i'd love to jump on this but the •••• Aus dollar and not working for the last 2 months have taken there toll on my savings. Sucks i wont be getting bugger all shifts until the end of Dec.
As for legality of fog lights you can get a fine for having them on at night or when weather conditions do not warrant them to be on. I think it falls under distracting other drivers or something along those lines. They should only be on obviously when you have fog or poor visibility |

Ok i can get one side for half the cost.
Also they can get the connectors for the back of the fog lights for US$5 each..
While that could be true David, i see cars all the time with the fog lights on. Just say that you forgot they were on. lol |

Yeah its not something the cops come down hard on. I got done years ago for my foggies on at night but its hardly anything to worry about as its quite uncommon to get a fine. |

i would jump on this as well scott as i need the fogs and grill but its the exchange rate thats letting it down at the moment. adds up to over $600. maybe worth doing when our dollar is better. |

I think the reason why it's so quiet is because the price. It costs $124.50 Canadian for a brand new grill from Lexus. |

Ok guys contacted the supplier. And since this was originally meant for the fog lights and grilles.
The price has risen a small amount.
Now the prices are US$120 plus postage from my place.
Total will be AU$200 posted.
So in the end will still save about $50+ from buying from toyota.
Let me know if you guys are still keen and will put through the order soon.
And will send you guys payment details.
Cheers

Hey Scott,
Are the connectors for the back of the 97 foggies still available?
Do you still have access to them or do you have part numbers for them? Thanks.
