I went into the dealership looking for the TRD CAI intake bumper grille (which parts could not fin -- waste of a trip, can anyone get me the #?), and saw this guy. Has this been attempted before? It looks like it was welded and powdercoated. They were Hella lights.

Wow...that's an awesome idea! I've seen scoobies, and evos around here with lights like that...now I want to try that!

This looks like a site to buy them...they have HID as well.

Oh wow. Yeah.... no. It's interesting, but I think it doesn't look right with the xB.

It looks like someone smacked the back of the car and lights popped out of the car, hanging by a thread.



If someone's after that look, I think it'd be better if you add the fog light by the driver's mirror, like in Ford's Police Interceptors.

 

Thanks for extracting the pictures. I'm split on whether or not I like them. They didnt have much flex to them but I could imagine them getting a little bouncy over speedbumps. I was just thoroughly surprised to see this (seemingly) DIY mod on a dealership vehicle.

 

I went and bought some driving lights like those today...I put one on and was thinking, hey this will be quite different...then I go to the trunk for a 2nd tow hook, and THE CAR ONLY CAME WITH ONE!!!!!

 

that would look good if you were going for the rally car style, otherwise, not so much...

 

If you need another one, it's $23.71 from TRDsparks:

Enter your year, make, model, and then use the keyword "tow hook".

 

I wonder how them hold up to rocks .

 

rallylights.com has special covers to protect them.

 

do they work with covers on?

 

There's the mesh kind, and transparent film...

 

looks pretty hideous.

 

I second that.

 

Maybe some smaller ones like this. Quick PS.

 

This one is actually not too bad. They look like eyes to me.

Smaller is definitely better in the case of this style of Fog light.

 

More is not always better... just put in HID headlights, and skip the goofy looking fog lights on the bumper. If you can incorporate something into the lower grille - that might look good (like the '08-'10 OEM fogs), but the bumper stuff looks like crud (insert your favorite word beginning with c or s here).

 

They look like ____. /thread

 

Peter, how is it that you're always up at 3-4am your time??????????

I'm almost dead (see skeleton avatar), and it's only 12:30 am here.

 

Let's just say that I've never adjusted to the time difference from Greece

I'm currently on the phone with airline companies in Greece booking my flights, so tonight I have a reason. The rest of the nights I just stay up on MSN, Skype and SL. :D

ps those lights, or should I say the idea of those lights is horrible. They look way out of place, no matter their size. But hey, it's all about individuality; I'd rather shave my head than roll around in those!

ps2 if anyone does that, please post pics!

 

I should have taken a picture of when I had the one on...I like it because I like the rally car look. To each their own...

The lights I bought are like 6 1/2 inches...it looked good on there.

I'm tempted to buy the 2nd tow hook, and just get them put on...

Just hook them up to the wiring harness for the oem fog lights, and get a switch.

I would also suggest maybe coating the hooks in plasti dip to prevent rust.
