well i put my yellow ebay foglights on today. got them for $94 shipped through scionsport here
eBay Motors: Scion xB 08 09 Fog Light Yellow Lense with Mesh Cover (item 300268018702 end time Nov-20-08 17:27:39 PST)
got them in a few days from cali to ky. they cam in brown box with no instructions or mounting hardware. pretty generic but will work for me. it is the same install as the factory foglights. you do have to cut the grill and it uses the stock wiring. sorry for the crappy pics, they were done on my iphone.
here is what i got in the mail
ATTENTION: i am not responsible for any misrepresentation or damage you cause. please use the foglight instructions at trdsparks.com. its free and tells you exactly how to install them. i have modded plenty of cars and basically i did this on my own and improvised on my own.
so lets start, first these metal pieces that help hold the bulb in came off on both lights. i ended up cutting them off, heres what they look like.
since i have 6k hid's, i used the rubber seals on the headlights and doubled them up so it has a tighter seal, this is what it looks like.
so now with the bumper off
install foglights. they go in the same place as the factory ones. you will need your own hardware to mount them.
use the template you can download at trdsparks.com. i didnt use, i eyeballed it and trimmed to fit. i didnt use any hardward because on my install, once in with the grill, it aint movin. AGAIN, use your own hardware, i take no responsibility if they fall off.
once you have the bumper off, you will see the foglight wiring, plug those into the foglights. do not use the wiring connectors it comes with(red and black wire with connectors), use the factory plugs. now for the inside switch. once you pull off the cover under the steering wheel you will see this conector by the wiring for the dimswitch.
the generic switch has 3 wires, the factory switch has 4 wires. the white wire is the wire that will turn on the foglights. the gray is a ground wire. the far right wire is the headlight wire, this will make the foglights come on with the headlights. i have it wired like this for now until i have time to tap into the parking light wire. i would wire the switch to the chassis ground separate from the switch. now when they are on, the foglght light on the dash will come on by the headlight light when turned on.
heres what they look like. the mesh grill was made by my brother from some stainless steel restaurant shelving i got from a buddy of mine.
NOW, for people wanting to know about the quality of this product LISTEN HERE.
i think the foglights themselves are good. except for the metal ring, i noticed that the light cutout on the foglights them self, one was off a bit so it made the bulb a little off center, no big deal tome.
no hardware included, i didnt use any, but you can also use the wire ties it comes with or buy some.
the switch broke apart on me. i put the wiring on and the damn thing fell apart. i have no switch, just hard wired for now. should be ok cause i know its fused and i can hear the relay click when i power the foglights. i might check into getting the factory switch, would be plug and play.
overall, im happy with them. i need to adjust them and get a new switch. is it worth the money? to me, yes. saved me over $200 from the dealer, that money payed for the ebay header coming this week and nst lite crank pulley im waiting on too.
any questions, please feel free to post up.
