Fog light look

I was looking to put fog lights on my 2.5RS Wagon 2005
I bought my car with cover fog lights already install ( canadian edition )
But when i removed my fog light cover i realize that I do not have any "fog light bezel/surround" inside !

So I was looking on the web to find a pair of "fog light bezel/surround"
And I came across these pics

I tought these bezel look way better that the original one( usa 2005 subaru.. ) because I can fit a bigger Fog light inside.

So does any one knows where could I find these bezel ??



Or do you have any better idea for my problem !?

Thanks

I think you may need a whole new bumper for those, but I am sure you need to cut your bumper beam or get a JDM one. The look sweet though.

It's a good assumption, but I don't think so because the housing fit is the same, it is only the extra upper plastic band that is include in the north Americain version.

Yeah finally you're right, after a lot of searching, I found out that you have to replace the bumper for a JDM bumper bean.
You can still do it easily but the cost is around 650$

My opinion is:
That's a lot of money for fog lights, concentrate on someting else

Here is where you could find the parts if you are still interested :

Unless you are looking to save weight, don't bother swapping out the bumper beam. The JDM beam takes away all of the 5mph bump protection. Just cut the USDM beam. When you remove the bezel/cover, look up in the top corner. The styrofoam and metal you see is the beam. Mark the beam to the shape of the inside curve. When you finally get to the beam it will show you exactly where to cut.
