I have a 2011 kizashi and mine didnt come with the fog lights.
Does anyone know what kind kit would fit it or where I could buy them vs paying 200+ from dealership. Please let me know something.

IMHO you're better off buying the genuine kit. You'll pay more for it, but you will also receive EVERYTHING required to make them fit - instructions, surrounds, brackets, wiring, switch and decent quality fog lights. A lot of Ebay type fog lights are cheap rubbish and you'll blind other drivers if you try using them as fogs.

PS: I fitted fog lights myself to my wife's Suzuki XL-7 using decent quality- but non OEM- lights. There was major fabrication required, I had to nut out the wiring and some funky brackets had to be made. Plus cutting holes in the bumper.... It was a big project.

I also agree with Murcod that the Suzuki accessory kit is the way to go. It's not only for having all the optimal wiring and switches, but also the finished look. Because the fog lights go in the air dams, you have to really plan out how the aftermarket fog lights would be installed if you don't want gaps or an ill-fitting fog light. You also have to be careful about how they mount and the durability of the lights.

The Suzuki accessory kit was specifically designed for the Kizashi so the end result is that it looks like an OE part. I'm also assuming it would have the adjusting knobs like the OE fog lights on my car.

This is apparently how the Suzuki accessory fog lights will look after installation. That's an OE look that no aftermarket can easily meet.

Yes, unfortunately the OEM kit is the only feasible option. It seems to be going up in price as well
