Which Fog to get EvoR or Jdm Spec?
Hi I am fairly new to the forum and picked up the Z a few days ago. I have done searches but haven't really found which is the better product. I heard the Jdm is brighter than the EvoR but I'm not sure. I really want the switch so I can control it at anytime but the only switch I found was 160$ at the Z store. Is one more complicated than the other?
Thanks

I went withthe OEM one for three reasons.
1) it's OEM 2) it looks like it belongs on the car, unlike the LED version which looks like it was added on 3) it's RED. the led version is smoked which makes it look like a dummy cover when it isn't illuminated most will disagree with me, but I prefer the look of the OEM piece anyday. |

Thanks for the replies. So I think I will go with the Oem but I will need a switch, like the one that goes in between the heated seats. Will that switch work with the Oem light? Anyone have this specific set up. The only switch I found was from Z store that was 160 plus 60 for the light itself. 220$ fairly high for this light. Thing is I need to be able to turn on and off anytime I want to.

2. The LED one looks just the same as a blank like it came OEM, and illuminates when you want it to. So it looks as if nothings been changed... (especially on black) 3. You can get the EVOR LED one in RED as well to give it that 'stock' appearance. In terms of brightness, you have to decide which do you want, 1 large bulb that you might eventually have to replace which looks like mids 90's taillights, or LED's which have a much longer life, use less energy, and is a much larger source of attention getting. When it comes to the wiring, both are extremely simple. However, the LED light allows you to wire it to come on, and off. And also you have the option to Blink like F1 cars. To most this will be trivial, but it a better attention getter than a solid on light. Even in full daylight I have people asking me about it after they've followed me. So that should 1. tell you something about its brightness and 2. that it does actually get the person's attention. Again to each unto their own, but just EVOR puts out a great product.

The most important thing for me is have a switch or a button to turn off the EvoR fog. I want to know what to buy along with it and need something cheaper than 160 for thezstore Jdm switch.

If you're talking about a switch in the center console, there is one posted in one of the DIY's that you can get for cheap, and then it's just the cost of wire, and the labor of installation. You don't need to get the $160 harness I promise you. That's a ripoff.

The Evo-R matches the LED tailights pretty well, but I liked the oem look better. Just be mindfull that even the oem foglight is pretty bright, your just as likely to piss off the guy behind you with this thing, especially on a clear night. Anyone know if I can switch out the stock bulb to something less bright? A way to control the brightness would be better though.

Also, did you see ProfessorDave's method of button control from the DIY thread OP? Looks pretty simple and cool, I'd paint it myself so the button stands out, but that's up to you... its another idea... I might do that for another idea I have.

I've got the Evo-R light, and I'm very happy with it. Mine is wired to come on solid with the brake light and flash when in reverse.
I've got the Nav by-pass installed, so my center console blank has been taken-up by the by-pass switch. Didn't someone post that there is a company selling the Canadian control stalks with the fog light switch on it? I didn't think that was much more than the JDM switch.

I've honestly been searching for the different light stalk and a cheaper switch but it doesn't seem to exist online. I don't even know where some people got an extra heated seat switch.
