^ damn it all Dave, use the search button at least once!!! 
I don't like to act like I know what I'm talking about but when people ask untrusted sources for info, they get what they get. so here it goes:
You're only in trouble if what you do can be considered the cause of whatever warranty work you need. ie, did you install the fogs in such a way that they made your normal lights malfunction and you want toyota to replace the normal lights? Did you fry the electrical system when you installed them? etc. Then tough cookies if you did, it's your own fault. You caused the failure to the factory setup by installing your own crap. Just like if you install a new headunit and your factory speakers stop working, you're on your own. But if you install fogs and your exhaust falls off, they're unrelated so it's no problem. get it? am I making any sense?
People can correct me now.
that said, they're just fogs. you'll be fine. I don't think you can do any major damage installing them. Notice the qualifing phrase, "I don't think..." But hey, I only had the dealer do 2 of my mods and that was my interior lights and fogs. It took an online chat with scion and 4 trips to the dealer to get the interior lights to work right and they chipped my paint installing the fogs so maybe it is hard to do.
Anyhoo, which fogs do you want? OEM or another style? I like the OEM because they fill those gaps in the bumper but they are kind of bland and murky looking.

spirts or spurts? 
yeah, it does.
I actually have a nice normal office job during the day. sometimes it gets too busy to chit chat. Like now. Plus, I rely on unsecured wireless from my neighbors at home but everyone started to secure their connections so I haven't been able to do anything in the evenings. Sometimes I'm too cheap/busy/lazy to drive over to panera.
What was I saying about having a job? Oh yeah, I've got work to do!

It's the first time in a long time that Diehl has looked a little light on scions!

14k tell me about it we had to send it to cali to get the conversion done. the super charged one is selling for 54k i think.

i almost went to Diehl, but it wasnt "Just what i was looking for" actually with Scion didnt see the difference going to Lancaster or Diehl seeing there is no DEALS on Scions, and im in Lancaster further drive to York over here...
