so i took a look at that lower center red piece and this is what i found.
looks and felt like that round part might have to be cut out for a bulb to fit? not sure until i try to remove it and take a better look, also is it required for the 2014 tc to have those red reflectors on the sides of the bumper?

Foglights are installed now - just a minor qualm is when the headlights are turned off, you hear the relay for the foglights click off - even if the foglights weren't on. The dealer couldn't get the canadian daytime running lights relay to work - they tried to install it but it wasn't going to work on this car for some reason, so I'll need to add those aftermarket from carid.
If you get foglights installed into your 2014 tc I'd be interested to know if the click is normal when the foglights are off, when you turn off the headlights. The dealer didn't know if it was normal as this is the first time they've done the install on this vehicle.

i still haven't ordered mine as my dealership hasn't received them, might get from trdsparks. I never heard that from my integra but it should be the same as the previous scion tc model, only differences would be the shape of the foglights and housing.
put up pics so we can see !!

When the headlights are on, the light for the fog light button is always on. So it's hard to tell from inside if the fogs are active or not - it's a toggle switch. Maybe that's why it was clicking before. It will take a few days to determine how it should be.

I won't have any numbers until they mail the paperwork for the install to me. There are numbers on the lens, but that's not for the bulb. The OEM bulbs are white. I'm just happy I got foglights again as I use them to drive "through fog" of all things. And occasional heavy snowstorms they help too.

I was hoping that would work on a 2014 Scion TC, but the dealer tried for a couple hours and said it doesn't.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytime_running_lamp
basically, when the key is switched to ACC or when the vehicle is moving forward, the daytime running lamps turn on, when the key is turned to off or lock the daytime running lamps turn off. And when you turn on the headlights, the DRL is also turned off. It's required by law in Canada and some parts of Europe (if not all of Europe) on newer vehicles and would save me $6/month on insurance if I had daytime running lamps.

carid.com also has daytime running lamps which fit any vehicle, but the dealer didn't want to cut new holes in the bumper or headlight assemblies to install them, so I'll just live without the DRL.
My last car (2002 Pontiac Grand Am) had them, so I wanted them on the new car, but it's all right - maybe I'll add them sometime in the future, just not this week.
