Default *New* DIY~ ScionSport OE style Fog Kit

Heres the Fog lights
* Theres a adjusment on the back, make sure you adjust before re-installing the bumper back.



Passenger Left Fog light



Driver Right Fog light




First Step is to take off your bumper and disconnect your battery (air bag).
- I used grillcraft's install since you can also refer on it later on taking off the bottom grill
Link = http://grillcraft.com/installs/insta...ew&install=170

After CAREFULLY taking off the bumper, proceed to take off the bottom grill. then it should look like this after you snap on the fog lights.


* I highly recommend using a pillow for your bumper Bed Sheets can work too.

Locate this receptacle underneath the driver headlight



Use the factory ground with the fog lights



Then connect the harness into it and connect the other end to the fog lights. white is to white wire / black is to black wire, there is no way you can mix the wires since it has different plugs on both.



Reverse the installation of the bumper and be carefull not to pull the bumper too far because the supplied wires from the fog kit is just sufficient.

* make sure you try the lights that they work.

Locate this receptacle to connect the switch's harness



Green ->switch
White -> Dash connector
Clear White -> relay
* as shown



Then place your switch anywhere you like



Everything Should Work like this

A lot of people ask for night pics but If saving over 100+$ dollar isnt enough then dont bother waiting for the pics. I get lazy after i get what i want and plus im busy with work. Ill c what i can do with the night pics

Im sure dealer would be too expensive try clicking the sponsored sale thread and contact Gorge and tell him you saw my lights i got from him.

They just open up the light directly in front of the car and low... so they end up filling up the light a little closer to the car... so not really for the long range viewing...

Plus, it's not really cool to run them if it's not foggy... looks cool, but not the nicest thing to do.

I have to adjust it since its pointing too far down.

yellow light is only usefull during for as wedrivescion said, if you want something to help you drive at night then get the white lens if fog then the yellow.
