It doesn't appear that any aftermarket supplier has made a fog to fit the xB stock mount. That's a shame, because I wouldn't mind buying some that were actually effective fog lights, instead of the "just for looks" OEM fogs.

Not sure where you are looking that the factory fogs are $350.

I know you can get the factory fogs from carson toyota for $228 for the oem version

http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=1139

Or if you want to get the JDM version its only $235. Having run both sets on my car the JDM fogs both look and function better than the OEM.

you can always make something fit. now i what slots are you talking about? the ones on the bumper, or the slots inside the car where the switch goes. because you can get oem style switches from oznuim.

I'd also suggest ebay, ive seen them cheaper than the dealer. But really they are worthless. I dont even turn mine on.

Installing aftermarket fog lights in the lower grill is a popular alternative to OEM.

Look here for product and install examples:

there is also an option of a grill with integrated fog lights. These foglights in the grill also have a halo ring in many applications.

Scionpartspeople has the OEM fogs for $191.40.

I've heard the JDM ones are better, but you have to mod the switch that comes with 'em. It's a better switch, anyway - it lights up.

I just saw those, doesn't look like it includes a relay and the switch looks kinda cheezy IMO. The housing looks to be plastic too(I think but my monitor might be messed up), not metal like the OEM ones.

I snagged my OEM's(complete kit) off ebay for cheap, just keep an eye out.

I'm intrigued by those... I wonder how they'd hold up to HID.

Go with something in the lower grill. It will have better light output and you have a ton of options. I went with the PIAA P-3000. I wanted to have both yellow fog & white driving lights. I have had these on for about two years now. They rock!

I know, I have a set of Blazers sitting in my living room... I just don't want to drill into the lip yet.
