They work, but they need a relay and the switch needs to be modified to fit the stock wiring harness.

I bought a pair and they look good, but the clips used to put them on were too small. I'm gonna have to invent something to put em on, unless someone knows where I can get those clips.

This site has fog light brackets: http://www.mrtoyotaparts.com/MC-CJEE-CDAB.aspx

Not sure if those are the clips you are referring to...

yes, those are the clips. so just to reinerate:
1. you'll need a relay
2. you'll need 2 sets of clips
3.you'll need to modify the switch wiring/switch or buy a new factory switch
4.there is a probabality that one of your fogs lights will be broken somehow: either the glass will be chipped or cracked, and or you may be missing a screw/screws on the back where the bulbs go in.(many people experienced this including me)

i know this because i have a set of these ebay fogs, they were a pain but i did evetually get them to work, it may be easier for you to buy the factory ones, but in the long run you may save some money with these. good luck

Pretty cool guys... I appreciate the help! I actually purchased the clips, relay and the switch from that site. Hopefully, I will be putting my fog lights on very soon along with some rims I'm going to purchase. I have to post some pics up... I'm ashamed to admit I have no xB pics, but that will be changing soon.

OEM wouldn't be a bad choice, but IMO I think aftermarket is still cheaper even if you have to buy the clips/switch apart, plus they aren't too hard to install.

I was able to use a cheap dental mirror to locate the relay and then just popped it in by hand. Once you see the holes and everthing with the mirror, its pretty easy to put it in by hand, going in on the left side.

The clips are really called BRAKCETS and they are around 10 dollars from Toyota delarship.

I got the Fog light switch for 39 dollars total.

I thought this guy had a decent price for a dealership.

I got the brackets and switch usdm from him.

Now, you need a relay?

His relay is very high priced and I got one for 10 dollars.

You can save money with the relay.
