Ebay fogs- how bad are they?

[Mless5]

Just looking to plug holes in my bumper, got 4 OEM lights, but all are cracked.
Not that I use fog lights all that much, how bad are they for $30? Fitment issues?

Thanks.

Real bad.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I bought mine almost a year now and have not had any issues (knock on wood). Just make sure you have the right bulb and fitment should be ok. I followed the DIY install from e38.org

I threw mine in the trash. Wasn't worth shipping back. The internal baffles---one is backwards. Unusable to me. Junkola.

Connection are bad. And water gets in them

[Kangaroux]

Bad.
I bought a set to replace one of mine. Feels like crap, condensation gets in, fits funny on one side, the plug doesnt go into the socket to clip into place and make a connection.
Waste of time and $30

Though.. the seller I got it from has some good customer service. When I found that the plug doesnt go in all the way because maybe the plastic was too big and I couldnt force it down he sent a replacement out immediately and I received it shortly. Though it fit now it doesnt fit like OEM and condensation was able to get in

Mine are good no problems what so ever. Knock on wood......

They are sold as HILLA not Hella

Gotchya. Has anybody tried gluing in new lenses into OEM housings? More concerned with removal of broken glass actually.

glad i looked at this..was looking to order some replacements in a few weeks....i have tried several times to restore my lenses but not much better...there was a company in germany selling replacement lenses though..i might check with them

[hmmurdock]

The ones I got were utter crap. One of the wires going from the housing to the lamp connector was unsoldered and the internal baffles were upside down. They don't fit quite right either. I lost one after hitting a possum so these are better than a gaping whole, but not by much. I'm going to be ordering a better set in the very near future.

I got black housing glass fogs for $40 shipped over a year ago. No fault codes, no melting, and just a little bit of fogging up from HEAVY humidity.

Overall I really can't complain at all. They project my HIDs nicely too.

^ x2.
Still can't come to shelling out $$$ for OEM since I won't be using them anyway. Just want to plug holes in my bumper.
