the link wont work but i bought the item from ebay user partsdomain.
when they came in, the packaging labels the brand as "eagle eye". it is also inscribed on the lens of the lamps. i do have pictures of the lamps that i could show if it is necessary. but anyways i figured out the reason why they didnt fit. it is because after i did the bumper swap to gen 2.5 and i didnt realize i needed mounting brackets that go behind the bumper cover to hold up the fogs. i guess its toyotas way of saving money on designing so many different fog lamps. they recycle the same design on almost all of their models.
i didnt realize because my old fogs on the gen 2 bumper didnt need any mounting brackets, but after speaking to the toyota dealer i found out. the brackets will only cost me $40 in total, but i have yet to buy them. so im driving with a 2.5 front but with two big holes where the fogs would be. also i need to change the the fog lamp sockets to h11 sockets, after i realized all this extra work i thought id just take a break. call me lazy.
