Hello Everyone,

 

I have a 2014 Forester Premium with the plastic knockouts where the XT has fog lamps.  Someone backed into the car the other day and kicked the bumper out a little bit (no biggy, no scratches, and it pushed back in).  Apparently, there was some damage behind the scenes to the black plastic cover as a recent trip down a rough dirt road resulted in the loss of the plastic piece.  I know you can pick up the plastic trim piece for under $20 and the OEM fog light kit is over $200.  Are there any other options that don't look jenky?  Also, since this car did not come from the factory with the lights, do I need to wire in a switch or are they tied to the headlights?  I presume it it is all pre-wired except for a switch?  Would it be possible to tap into the headlight circuit (I have LED lamps so draw on that circuit is low).

I would still recommend the oem browsing with some fenders now and yup it is still $200 https://www.subarupartspros.com/sku/h4510sg010.html so you might wanna just change the trip. Other brands like diode is also in the same range.
