    Do not buy ebay fogs!

    So I took a risk and got the cheap $49.99 ones. They are garbage.

    1) The rubber gasket doesn't even fit right on both Right and Left fogs.

    2) The keying was reversed on the passenger fog. See pic. I can't plug the stock connector in.

        You can round off your stock connector and it will fit. I was in the same boat. I ended up only using the housings and installing oem lenses and gaskets

            I don't think they are depos.
            That's common though if you searched. Gaskets fit awkwardly, connector key is sometimes wrong, and you have to pry the prongs inside to make the bulbs fit inside sometimes.

            :P fun

                  Had the same problem. But other than the connector not fitting everyrhing else was good for $50. I rounded off the fog connector instead of the plug connnector and they worked great. Took them off only cuz I found a great at OEM set for $10. At the junk yard

                      Fog housing. You don't want to ruin your stock connector in case you go OEM later

                        For super budget replacements are these really that bad? I've been thinking about getting some to get by for a while till i find some not cracked or pitted fogs

                            I got a couple of these in the mail a few days ago. My plugs were made properly. The fit and finish is not great but for the price I think they are good deal. I am just using them to fill the holes. But I don't know if I'll ever actually wire them up as my car came factory with fog light deletes so I can't speak to their functionality. They look good though

                              There is a screw that vibrates loose to and rattles around in the bottom of the lenses. A bit of heat helps the gaskets to fit better. My plug was bad too but so were ny connectors as they were brittle. I just pushed my wires onto the pins. I have been using them for 6 months now and all is good
