it came out ok.....it looks great man....lots of props..... :bow:

VERY NICE!!!! And there is still a little room for air travel in there.

SWEET JOB MAN!!!

Do you happen to have any pics of how much of the bumper you cut out? (meaning, a pic w/o the light installed but after you cut the bumper)

Wow, looks amazing, how much cutting did you have to do?

could you please post detailed ainstructions and what exactly needed to be cut, i know a bunch of pepole want them

omg that is frickedy schweet it's probably the best set of fogs I've seen yet. The stock fogs are just not there.... who puts fogs in the lower grill? I mean really....?

do they have their own switch or did you wire them through the low-beams? what did you mean by "it took a lot of cutting" ? they look like they were designed to be there. I've seen way too many aftermarket fogs that just don't do it because they all look like they were just slapped on there for no reason.

congrats on the install, I think I found my fogs

Great mod!!!

maybe u can use some carbon fiber or fiber glass to fill in the gap. It will look stock ... nice job...much props!

That is sweet 8) . Props to you for being original :bow:

do they have their own switch or did you wire them through the low-beams? what did you mean by "it took a lot of cutting" ?

I wired them to their own switch. I'm still trying to think of a good place to run the power so they will shut off when i turn the car off. I had to cut almost the whole vent out of the bumper from the back side. Then i had a friend that builds hotrods help me 'glass the housings in. The lens fits nice, but the housing was way to big. Thanks for all the comments and praise!

DAMN NICE !!

fits in the space perfectly. It looks as if theyre factory lamps.

:clap:

lets do a comparsion post... so anyone with

STOCK FOG LIGHTS. SHOW YOURSELF.


still deciding between the IS300 or the STOCK fog lights

thats pretty nice man...i think im goin to steal some is300 foglights now...jk

HOLY CRAP!

Looks pretty good.......what size bulb does the IS300 fogs use? The stock ones use a 9006.

damn i want that

:bow: please. i beg for more pictures of the install inself.

bump

Woo....that really looks like if belongs there. Great job!!

I didn't take any pics of the install itself. Sorry... I barely have any time at all to work on my car, so when i get a chance i have to do it as quick as I can. Plus, my camera was at my house and I was working at my friends garage. There really isn't that much to this install though. It's just like a typical fog light install but you have to cut the holes out a little bit. If someone would post or email me a pic of the back of the bumper I will show what needs to be cut. Anyways, here are a few night pics.....

fogs and parking lights only in my garage

**one last thing- the is300 bulb is a 9600. Don't use white or blue tint or the yellow will cause it to look crazy (I read that on www.is300.net)**

So if you can't use those three which do you use? Did I read it wrong?

Are you going to take them out and try to see how it looks when they are switched?

BTW NICE JOB! I dont have to wait to install mine now. Thanks

hehe you're on www.is300.net now

Sorry, i explained wrong. You don't want to use a hyper white or a blue-ish light or it will react with the yellow projector in the fog light. You want a plain halogen 9006. Sorry to confuse...

Looks good

simply beautiful, you had a nice setup between the friend at the dealership and the hot rod guy to complete this project .. i tip my hat to you

:clap: :clap: me likey!! awesome job!! that's great !!

now scion?? if you're listening.. give us REAL FOG LIGHTS not some joke that goes in a grille where they're not supposed to be!! this post is what fog lights are SUPPOSED TO look like.. :D

congrats !! they look great!

You can get IS fogs from Japan that do not have the yellow lens-

the factory fog lights look just like the matrix setup (for those who have not seen) you did a very nice job and they look much better than factory !!!!

You can get IS fogs from Japan that do not have the yellow lens-

Yeah but they are like $400 shipped where i found them. Since you already have to open the housings to flip the cut-off shield, you can sand the yellow off of the projector. I found the instructions some where on how to do it, but i kinda like the yellow and it is the best color for functional fog lights.

I like the yellow too- at night you just know it is a Lexus....you can also take the lens off a RX300 and switch it with the yellow lens.

some people take the yellow lens off and just do not have a lens....that ruins 99% of the directional lighing that the fogs give you....bad idea

Props for being the first. :bow:
I'd like to see some daytime pics, to see how they look on the car as a whole....

Got any?

WOW!!!! Nice work!!!!

Very glade you went through the troble and rotated the cut-off shield. As you can tell there working perfect. In those pics of the light quality the tags of your neighbors arent reflecting much. Thats how you know there working :bow:

B.E.A.utiful!!!!!
I was thinking about doing this but cutting the bumper is something my parents wont let me do. hehe

I don't have any daytime pics yet. By the time i get home it is already dark. But tomorrow i will bring my camera with me to work, snap a few pics and post them when i get home tomorrow night.

Sounds great

Nice..U gotta let us know how to do that!!

Cutting?!

did you have to take the bumper off for the install?

is it just me, or are the IS300 foglights UPSIDE DOWN?
and if they are,(which i hope its just my wrong thinking),
wont the cutoff be backwards and all kinds of glare be hitting on coming traffic?

They are upside down, but he switched the cut-off shield so it points down.....I'm just not sure how he did this-

read thru the other IS300 foglight thread for all the info.

Okay, got it. By the way NICE :clap: . That's exactly what I wanted to do when I saw the holes there.

That's Hot!™

post a tech article!! puhleaze!!!!!

Veery nice work there! That's how the stock tC fogs should look, Scion should take notes... :clap:

really nice and clean custom job.

Looks awesome. I don't see where the bumper was cut.
So now that this has been done soon someone will post a very good DIY thread. Hurry up already. I may have to shrink the wallet again for those.

I concur- looks very nice. I always thought from day 1 that's where Scion was going to put any optional foglights on the tc.. not in the middle of the damn bumper, where they look retarded IMO.

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Got my IS fogs here in my room. Still thinking of a way to mount them though.

I think it looks awesome, I have the factory ground effects so unless I do some cutting this option won't be for me...

hey does ne one kno what the bulb # is for the factory Fog Lights?¿

does any one know how to wire them did they buy a kit from lexus tpo plug right in?

-BUMP-

This is a topic I've been tracking for a while, because it's simply one of the coolest and most original mods I've seen yet.

I heard that the IS300 sportback's lights fit much better; can anyone confirm this?

Thank God you found this! *MUAH!* I've been a lazy ___ and haven't gone down to the parts yard to go get mine. lol. Maybe I should do that.

I just searched "IS300 fog lights" :D

Searching Ebay for a pic of the Sportback's lights.

been there, done that............

Use this new search engine my friend told me about.

http://www.a9.com

This thing is awesome. It will find you whatever you want in a matter of seconds. Pictures, movies, articles, anything.

been there, done that............

...from the sportcross? Do you have any pics?

By the way, no luck finding any on Ebay, and for those from the sedan, they were like $165. No... way. :no:

I wish you could push them far back in a little!
I think they are too out, need to push back inside a little bit, looks weird to me :P

wow it sucks that you wrecked it. how did that happen?

That looks awsome man, nice job. Very very bright!!

wow it sucks that you wrecked it. how did that happen?

I guess to each his own.....:blah:

I had the lights originally tucked in like ShaunTC's but whenever I would look at the car from head on, it just didn't look right. So I decided to make the lights flush with openings in the vents. As a result, it turned out to look a lot better than before, even if it does stick out a bit.

Yeah it aint that big a deal, theres ways to fix it. But its a nice start! :)

No i didn't mean the fog lights they look great but from what I read on the IS forum it appears his car was in a wreck.

I'm not sure if my car is totaled yet or not. I'm dealing with the insurance right now. In arkansas the law is 70% of the value. Also, AR requires insurance companies to pay a diminished value to cover what $ i would lose by trying to sell a wrecked car. Soo.... add the damage to the diminished value figure and it should be above 70%. But either way is fine, I either get my car fixed and a couple grand, or a new car. BTW some of you on this site are _______s. Thanks to those who are open minded enough not to think any car other than an IS is "a piece of ____"........

http://www.is300.net/forums/showthread.php?t=238634&page=2&pp=30

and I agree lots of those guys on the IS forums are _______s they seem to forget that thier lexus like a scion is a Toyota from the way some of those spoiled asswipes talk you'd think they were driving Aston Martins.

OOPS my bad, just thought you were referring to mine because it looked like you were adding into what the guy above you said.

isnt there a JDM version of these lights? i dont like the yellow lights. do they have white?

omg that is frickedy schweet it's probably the best set of fogs I've seen yet. The stock fogs are just not there.... who puts fogs in the lower grill? I mean really....?

1985 - early 90's Camaro IROCs and Z28s are the only cars I can really think of that put their fogs in the lower grill...

As far as this fog installation, I have to give serious props. Just freakin' cool how they fit so nice, and the funny part of the fog lights not big enough to cover the entire inlet, leaves a cool looking inlet anyway. AWESOME!

isnt there a JDM version of these lights? i dont like the yellow lights. do they have white?

look on ebay, they're close to $200 for a pair

good job, smooth outcome,nice work

WOW! That looks really good. You should offer this as a service to TC owners, and make some extra cash on the side.

I got my Fogs for $80 bucks! I just finished my install and I have a couple pictures my friend took.. I dont have them yet. And the fogs arent operational yet, I still need the connectors and hook them up.

I kinda messed up on the driver side cut, but im gonna make it flow like it belongs there. I'll have pictures up once I get them to work.

Where'd you buy the fogs at, and what was included?

Post pics ASAP; I'd like to see them on other tCs, too.

Yes please post pics. Are they "HELLA" fogs by any chance? I know they are offered for about that much.

Wow... looks great, nice pics :)

I don't really like how the stock fog lights are not directly underneath the headlights. It looks a littler weird how they're a little closer together.

Very nice!! Looks great!!

Bump! Pics?

Where can I get those foglights?

looks great!

Wow... looks great, nice pics :)

ii wwwaaannttt aaaa DDIIIYYY....cant find one..tehe

Wow had this not been revived out of complete randomness I would have never thought this possible! Very cool, great work by the OP. Too bad his car got totaled through a rear-ending (saw the pics othe is300.net forums); by the way they were dogging him for doing it you'd think it was one of them in their 2nd car who rear ended him just out of spite or something, those guys have a bad attitude :nope:

nice, fit perfect huh?

nice, fit perfect huh?

RTFT

someone should to a tech on this huh?

can anyone go in depth on wiring the fogs? im sure it would start with the rocker switches, but what connecting and power supply? i know it sounds easy but i want to see how you guys that have done this did it?

looking clean..... :silly:

I did the fogs first, but ProjectD has done a much better and more detailed job of explaining how he did it.......If i were you guys I would hit him up for a tech article.....hint hint....... :lalala:

oh and thanks a lot for taking the time to get that detailed.
i didnt want you to think that i didnt appreciate that.

its sure a hell of a lot better than the answer i thought id get!
"dude, you wire the lights to a relay, then a switch, then a light, and your battery, duh."

oh, and if i didnt want the light, it would work fine if i just canceled it out? thanks

They look awsome. Personally, I like them more than the factory units!

me too, but the install is wat discourages me a bit
