    Well it says it is DOT/SAE compliant so it is probably just as good. Might double check to see if they come with the bezel/surround.

    Do note that these do not come with the wiring kit. The same lights and the kit can be found together on eBay.

    ^^ states in the descriptions wiring harness and switch included. Might not come with a relay or whatever, but that should be all you need. It's also an aftermarket manufacturer so the quality may not be as good regarding the materials.

    I do not know, from the item description, the bulbs might not even be included in the kit.

    I bought from eBay seller Cosmodynamic and received the kit fast:

    2010+ TOYOTA PRIUS CLEAR BUMPER DRIVING FOG LIGHTS LAMPS+SWITCH | eBay

    It came with everything, you can see a picture in the item description that has the wiring harness, relay, dash switch, wire tap and mounting screws.

    Im gonna say the switch & harness doesn't come with the lights. All listings that I've seen on ebay show a pic of the lights, harness & switch.

    I tried to be cheap and installed these foglights.. here is my experience with them.

    • the plastic is flimsy and does not fit in nice and clean (like OEM)
    • the wiring harness is also of a thinner gauge
    • the switch is of poor build so the green(standby) led bleeds into the area where it shouldn't making the switch partially illuminated even when it is not pushed in.
    • UGGHH!!! the silver paint on the front has started to peel off showing white plastic underneath.
    bad idea for saving some money short term... think long term.
    should have gone with better quality fog lights.

    OP needs to double check on that. Says DOT/SAE compliant but lens does not tell you otherwise. OP, beware of plastic lens. You always get what you paid for.
