4.1 OEM fog / driving lights?

[ilovemountains]

Did Toyota offer fog / driving lights for the 4.1? Anyone have a picture or a link to a set of new or aftermarket OEM style? I could install a pair of universal aftermarkets but Id like to keep the stock look if possible! Thanks, Matt

toyota offered oem fog lighting at one point or another but it was never really available in the US.

i have a set of aftermarkets wired in with the oem fog lighting and they look stock i can post a picture if you like it will be in my album, btw my rav looks almost exactly like yours

I was about to publish a similar thread as well.

Back in 1999 when we bought the RAV, I remember that in a dealer brochure containing all possible factory accessories for the RAV there were two options for OEM fog lights:

"City" type: Two small fog lights on some plastic panels screwed or glued on the bumper below the turning signal lights:



I can't say I really liked the look of them (especially on 94-97 models), but recently I came across a black 98-00 model which was equipped with them and I have to admit that they looked pretty **** nice.

"Country" type: These were two rectangular fog lights (with stone shield grille) which were mounted below the bumper cover and could be "retracted" (flipped backwards so that they could be protected from stones etc).
I can't find a picture of that type though.

What surprises me is that I've only seen these options here in Greece.
If anyone has them installed on their RAVs or have any related pictures, I would appreciate it if you could post them here.
Of course, OEM part numbers and any other relative information is welcomed as well.

Ive been eyeballing Rav4's since the late 90s when my ex had one, Ive never seen one with any type of OEM fog lights! Im going to look into a small set of Hella driving lights, somthing to help throw some more light down, I almost got a deer the other night on my way home from work!!

Mine (lower lights) are OEM on the "Giant" model, but rare as ****, was a ltd. run by Toyota.
Essentially its a lower, deeper valance with the fog/spot lights fitted, if yo look close you can see the trim line between original bumper (which is underneath) and the valance.

Agreed. I would rock those all day.

I got lucky and came across the aforementioned Rav again yesterday.
This time I was properly equipped:









They look pretty good to say the least. I don't know what they may look like on a non-fender-flared Rav, though.
If I can get my hands on the plastic panels, I would be a very happy man. The projectors sold by Toyota were crappy to be honest but a swap to Hella MicroDE's (or a similar fitting high-end brand product) can't be that difficult...

Driving lights would be easy just put them in the grill, but fogs I would like to see some good ideas. Down low and pushed as far outside as possible. I been scouring junk yards for the OEM caps.
