          OEM Fog Light Fitment Question
          I noticed a difference between fog lights in MY2000 cars and later models: The former ones have ridges in the glass.

          Is that the only difference, or was there also a change in size/shape of the housing? realOEM shows that there are different part numbers for the fog lights as well.

          The general consensus for replacing fog lights is "stick with OEM," but I want to know if they're interchangeable.

          they should be exactly the same because 2000-2003 all have the same front bumper

          Yea I considered the bumper factor. Some people were talking about different fog lights (albeit aftermarket) that wont fit straight in and gotta be installed from behind the bumper. I thought maybe the different OEM fog lights had the same issue.
