150

Got mine for 65, but that was without the trim pieces, and without the switch as well. If they're complete, that's a pretty good price.

haha u taking about the one on ebay with the shipping of 39 bucks! i put a couple bids on that, but i think i can find a better price.

I've been bidding on that too... seems like all the fogs on ebay go for so much lately...

I got mine from Midwest hybrids in Madison, WI by trading some direct port plumbing. Give them a call if you want. As long as you aren't a ricer they'll be cool. I got mine off of a scrapped front clip in the back of the shop, so availability will be doubtful.

lude_vtec · 01-13-2004, 08:44 PM

Sweet... I live near Madison... hopefully they'd have em in stock haha.

SLICK96 · 01-13-2004, 11:21 PM

Price is going up b/c they're becoming more scarce by the day. You cannot find the switches anywhere...nor the relays. I will never pass up a full setup on e-bay as long as I live. I let about 2 or 3 full setups pass through my hands...DOH!

Red4WS · 01-13-2004, 11:48 PM

I paid 150 for my the complete setup. I picked them up so i new i wasnt going to get ripped off so i guess it was worth it.

azjs · 01-13-2004, 11:51 PM

Got mine for $115... they were in great condition too!

Did you see how much it went for?? $162.50 plus the 40 shipping

I don't think I'll ever get oem fogs if the prices keep going up that high.

cleanLude · 01-14-2004, 02:14 PM

The answer is completely subjective...a year ago, i was dying for some amber fogs...prolly would have paid $200 for a set, but couldnt find one...then a few months ago, u guys might remember this, on ebay, there was a set of clear one-pieces PLUS amber fogs together!!! I ended up winning that auction for $260 + $40 shipping...totalling $300, for both one-piece headlights and amber fogs....i turned around and sold the headlights locally, since i already have the black housings....

Lucke · 01-14-2004, 04:45 PM

IIRC i paid like $175 for my complete fog setup... then traded my JDM switch for a USDM tweeter cover switch + $25

bringing my total up to $200 even... but i got the switch i needed also

j_t_heilbrun · 01-14-2004, 05:48 PM

I paid 88 for my clear ones without covers but with tweeter switch. Then I got a set of JDM yellow fogs with covers, no switch for $115

marshdoggg · 01-14-2004, 06:00 PM

i paid 102 for my jdm clear ones. then i got the tweeter switch separatly. shipping was 9 bucks. i guess from 100-150 is reasonable, as long as they work and are in good shape.

FGarcia1 · 01-14-2004, 09:52 PM

I paid $200 for a near-new set with a JDM switch and fog covers, the relay cost me $5 or so at a junkyard.

The amount you should pay is purely subjective; it may not be worth even half the amount you're mentioning to people who don't really care about them, but for anyone that really wants fogs, it's worth it. I personally don't regret paying the amount I did because they look great.

SLICK96 · 01-14-2004, 10:09 PM

Lights aren't the problem...it's the switch, tweeter or JDM...now that's the problem. I don't want to jury-rig some wiring to get them to work, I want them to function as they should, w/ the switch. Man, I'd pay 50-75 just for the damn switch.

cleanLude · 01-15-2004, 08:22 AM

^^Thats exactly the point...someone that wouldnt mind wiring it up themselves wouldn't pay that much for the switch...
