Recommendations for driving lights:aesthetic look:non operational,will not wire in

Looking to possibly add driving lights(2) to my '11FJCW hatch. Want the look, don't need them to be operational. $640 for the OEM way too much. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

and you can get brackets from Outmotoring.

btw they are easy to wire up when you avoid the factory kit. Just run a simple toggle to someplace inside.... but I understand where you are comin' from. I installed the rear fogs - lens units only, no bulbs or wires, just cuz I did not like the filler plates in the tail..

while i can appreciate adding lights solely for the look......it seems pointless to not at least wire them up. especially if you are going through the trouble and expense of mounting them.

to do a simple wiring job, it should take even a novice no more than an hour to do.

that way, even if you never use them, at least youll have the option.
