Only way is to drill into plastic trim, no biggie tho. Or just simply turn off your fogs in oncoming traffic.

I have really thought about just doing it and not running my fog lights all the time only when I need them like I said I don't wanna do a ugly looking toggle switch my interior is in too good of shape to start drilling holes in it lol

they aren't better. They are just easier to replace. Retrofit hid headlights are basically the best you can get for 10th gens. But you have to build them. If you haven't seen them already. You can customize the look in tons of ways.
