    Go to the dealer and ask how much it is... What Trend model did you buy, 1.6L ba? If so sana nag Sport ka na lang kasi may fog lamps na din... Last I heard the fog lamps are worth P20K kasama na labor and the OEM switch... But again better ask again...

    Apparently, OEM fog lights are not yet available.

    OEM fog lights were top of my list for my wife's Fiesta PS. As soon as we got the car a couple of weeks ago, we called Ford Global and Alabang to ask if they had OEM fog lights. Global said, they have but it will take 2 weeks to order if you place a 50% 'down payment.' Alabang said, it will take 2 days after a 50% down payment as a 'reservation fee.' So, I went to Alabang to pay the 50% to 'reserve', but the fellow behind the accessories counter said that they don't have any stock. I said, I will pay 50%, can you order for me? He said, the plant says it's not available. I was kind of frustrated so I told him that the people answering the phone should be certain when they give out information to callers looking for accessories.

    Is this a glimpse of Ford's after sales service?

    To those who deal with other Ford dealers, please let me know if other Ford dealers have them. Like zerdane99, I'm willing to pay for them as long as they have them in stock.

    Thanks in advance.

    question is,

    up to what extent can you pay for a pair of foglamps ?

    20k is waaayyy to much. if i had that much money, i'd spend that on garyq's bolt on projectors for the headlamps which can produce MORE light unlike the foglamps which produce if not useless, less light.

    Yes this is the way to go. You're going to spend that much na din, might as well have it retrofitted nalang. That way, you won't feel ripped off.

    As the owner of a Fiesta Sport with oem fogs...I can tell you that they are definately NOT worth 20K.
    I am very fussy about my lights, and these are just not up to the job.
    Light output is very short, and only lights up the foreground, as they are basic reflector lights. Even a basic projector light, like vivafoxpro's, will have better output (with the correct bulbs installed). You will also get a better "cutoff" with a projector.
    I have Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs installed in my fogs, and they still suck. Just light up the deadspot in front if the car only, with no reach into the distance. I will be upgrading mine in the future. The only bonus in having them installed as stock is that the wiring and switch is installed ready for an upgrade.

    Because fogs aren't made for forward output.

    The output is more on the sides of the car.

    Do you know which dealer has them? Yes, 20K is a bit too much for foglights. Ford Alabang quoted P9K for OEM foglights. Again, their word is unreliable, so please don't quote me. ;) Retrofitting is quite tempting, but we are constrained from going out of 'casa' because of the warranty. I guess it's a waiting game for me then.

possible FOGS for FIESTA Trend?
