    Odered some new led fogs from a dealer online. Got them today and sure enough the housings are stamped with China as is the box. Wouldnt think a dealer would pull the ebay part game, but i guess I'm a sucker. Now have to decide on sending them back or not. Thought the price was a little to good.

    That’s because Japan is making spacecraft now. They don’t have time to build simple automobile stuff!!!

    Just because the 4R is made in Japan doesn't mean all the individual parts are.

    China is everywhere.

    No kidding? I'm aware, but the fogs are made in Japan and china. Never heard of a dealer selling the China stuff. Normally you see it in ebay. I'm having a hard time getting a feedback on them, leaves me to believe there are issues with them.

    ?

    You know they are made in China but dealer can't sell an OEM fog made in China to you? You expecting custom OEM fogs made in the USA just for you?

    You be surprised how much stuff is made in China

    No I thought a Toyota dealer would sell the Japan parts not knock offs. But now that you mention it. Yes I want all my parts hand made custom just for me by little emo kids in mommy's basement.

    OEM made in China therefore it is not a knock off?

    Please do record when you try to return. I'd like to see the guy try to hold himself back from laughing at you.

    LEDs all around, otherwise bone stock.
    Man its so hard to tell a good part from a bad one these days. Especially when they all have the same country of origin. And honestly the Toyota parts sticker is too easy to fake on ebay.

    You really rely on forums, videos, and people who really know parts.
