Question I'm installing the Design Pack... but need help!

Has anyone added the Design Pack to their 14-15' model yet? I can't believe im the first one but there is ZERO information out there...

After spending a couple of grand ordering it and painting it, it seems like I ALSO need to buy new fog lights? As you can see in the picture below, the current ones are a little shorter/skinnier...

The problem is... nobody knows the part number of the ones that I actually need! Not even the people at the dealership who sold me the design pack...

Did you get the '14/'15 design pack, or the '16 design pack? They are different.

I just reviewed the installation instructions of the kit. But I can't tell if the kit has you reusing the foglights or new ones come with the kit...

However...when I look at the parts catalogue, there are 4 different part (for left and right accordingly) numbers for the rear fog lights. Are the part numbers stamped on your lights?

For V6
T2R11334
T2R11333

For V8
T2R8851
T2R8848

So I guess the newest design pack, with the flat side "skirts" - although the car is a 14 (probably hence the different lights?).

The problem is even the newer lights, from what I can tell, have the same part number so how could they be any different?

They are... and to make it more confusing it has a different number altogether. Although I have deduced that maybe they are the same part as the V6 you posted above (but different reference number)?

See attached for a pic I took of the sticker on the part.

See what I mean, if I already have those parts (but they clearly don't fit...), then how could just getting newer of the same parts help at all?! lol

Define 'doesn't fit'... it looks pretty close to me - and all searches for 3.0 fog lamps return the same number (and the number on yours apparently relates back to the number for the V6 posted by whitetardis.

Sometimes you just need to 'wangle' things into place, especially with flexible parts like the valence where the hole for the lamp may alter shape etc depending on how the valence is oriented/bent. Also (dumb suggestion, but) make sure you're putting the left one on the left, right on the right etc

It may not appear to fit right until the valence part is installed correctly on the car.

^this. I'd say as long as the mounting holes are lining up without too much force then you're good to go.

I knew that the rear fogs were different on the V6 vs V8 valences, but are they also different between the V6 standard valence and the V6 design pack?
Maybe the V6 design lights are the same as the V8 fogs.
