Default JDM Fog from Evasive

I bought these set of fogs from evasive about a month ago.
Had to cut out my bumper to get these fitted onto my my car
These were on my car for about 2 weeks and one of them is gone.
Little plastic tap that's supposed to hold the fog is broken.
For those who are thinking about getting these fogs, think twice.
Now, I am stuck with a deformed bumper with a big ugly hole in it

.............and that is why I bought the OEM ones for $12 more than Evasive. Out of curiousity, I bought a pair of "style" one off e-bay for $66 shipped. The plastic on the OEM ones is WAY more resilient.

In fact, one of the "style" ones showed up w/ a broken tab, just like your picture above on the right.

The OEM and the "style" ones are just about identical in size BUT the quality is MUCH better on the OEMs. Retrofitting the OEMs into the existing holes in your bumper shouldn't be an issue. You will need some bracing, there is no way that just the plastic will hold these HEAVY lights.

How did you attach the trims to your bumper if I may ask.....?

Old addage really holds true "you get what you pay for". Sorry about what happened man. But I would do what the other guys have done and get the oem one's rather then just have a deformed bumper.
