If I may please follow up this topic (as I have the bumper off a '12 Toyota Prius v (wagon), and am eager to finally put it back together):
I bought a ZEVO FOG DRL Assembly, and there was significant concern with this product for use on any vehicle. I followed up with an email to Sylvania with the concern about them being fake/seconds/basically non-road worthy. I got a quick answer to send a picture of the packaging and copy of the Amazon receipt. A day or so later after sending them, I received an email with:
Being somewhat confirmed as an original Sylvania product, are these a road worthy product to install? It would require me to find a LEDFOG101-TY-M mount to facilitate installation on the car, meaning I need to buy one, which don't seem to be available here in the USA, cheapest I could find seems to be Amazon Spain, and wait for delivery. At $35 cheapest I could find for the mount, I may just forgo trying to install it and try to return the lamps to Amazon if they are no good in the first place. If they are good I may then try to fit/cut a yellow film available here:
http://www.lamin-x.com/3-5-Yellow-Round-Light-Covers-p/sb-3.5y.htm
to make the fog function yellow and keep the DRL white.
It's been about 6 months, are there any good to use selective yellow bulbs available now? Or is it better to use the film, also available from Lamin-X:
http://www.lamin-x.com/Toyota-Prius-V-12-14-Yellow-Fog-Light-Covers-p/t441y.htm
on the OE fog lights that came with the car?
Is the available Philips X-tremeVision LED behind this yellow filter a good idea, or is a high quality H11 behind the filter better?
There is a paint mentioned by Daniel Stern in his selective yellow article. Is it better to use the paint to get the selective yellow output? (I am a little concerned about my ability to paint the lenses, but if better than the stick on filters I may try.)
Thank you!

email from Sylvania"Per the Product Engineer:
Amazon is an authorized reseller.
The pictured packaging is correct.
This packaging is typical for online sales channels."
