Like a vinyl bumper sticker cut out, silk screened to look like a fog light.
Mostly white with some grey to look like a reflection.
OR
Aluminum Foil/Mylar cut out with some spray adhesive on it.
It's worth a try!

Faux fog lights? You can get the real ones for like $100

$100 for something you'll never look at once installed, only to impress strangers?
I'll keep my $100 and move on....in 2 yrs it'll be irrevelant to you.

over 2 years, $100 vs. $30 spent on functional vs. faux foglights would be irrelivent too.

I got my car a week and a half ago and I just install my fog light without getting it wired yet. I don't like the cover that comes with my Prius 3 and even thou I am not goign to wire the fog light until a few days later , but I rather have a non working fog light there other than a cover or painted cover.

When I first read the title of this thread the first thought I had was this was going to be about a moderator not doing his job here.

One of the many reasons I bought the V was the grey rubber blanks in the front bumper cover in the other packages. They looked so useless and just begged to be filled with the foglights.

Dumb question, but couldn't you just parallel the fog lights power with the headlights?

you'd still need to relay them to go off when the high beams came on.

No, that wouldn't be lame enough.

Anyone tried these?

Blinglights suck. You have to cut your original fog light covers to make them fit.
