^ most wires for a H3 are shorter than the ones that come with it. so the adapter give u some more wire length

 

it was a false alarm, one of my wires had just come loose. No need for new bulbs afterall!

 

I noticed the ground wire is tricky with these kits.

QUESTION: I need to replace my bulbs, my headlights are a 10,000k HID kit and I wanna match my fogs as close as possible, without going HID. Any color or brand suggestions??

 

Just installed mine a few days ago. I'm happy with the results. I want to get some yellow HIDs for it next!

 

I just installed mine over the weekend and it came out great. If you can get a dremel, do so. I used a drill and put a few scuffs on the lip! But the fog lights cover most of them so no worries.

My problem is the rocker switch. I spend two hours yesterday going to 3 different Lowe's, two Home Depot's, Pep Boys and a Checkers. I cannot find the GSW-45 anywhere! Any ideas? Should I just keep looking?! I saw a few online but they seem to be charging more for them + shipping costs. Please help so this project can be completed, lol.

 

Oznium is probably your best bet.

 

I actually was just able to get them (bought three, lol). Cripe Distributing shows the quantity in stock on their site as zero but if you call them, the girl (Stacy I think her name was) and ask nicely, she will go look in the warehouse for you. Im stoked. $1.25 a piece plus shipping. Now what to do with the other two, lol?

 

I have three switches, only one is hooked up, lol.

 

i bought mine this morning in autozone for $20.


the fogs number is nv-100z; and for info:

and i have some h3 diamond blue bulbs that i just swaped


i did installed my first set of fogs on my scion, the ones from auto barn, i wasn't please with them but, someone make me a favor, someone broke them and i uninstalled what was left of them . soooo... since i have all the cables ready for plug and play... i have the wiring harness waiting for someone that needs them(even the instructions). let me know.

 

I didn't think about putting different colored H3's in the auxiliary lights.
I do like them now though.

 

i installed them today:

final product

 

Go to scionpartspeople.com Best prices on everything they carry, by far.

I got the entire foglight package for my 2006 xB from them. It had everything I needed. No jury rigging necessary.

 

What exactly did you buy from the Scion Parts people?

 

Just a quick reminder, the brand of these fog lights from Walmart is "Blazer"

 

To ScupperSkipper:

I have bought from Scionpartspeople.com:

1. the Scion manufacturer's fog lights.($76.56 plus about $16.00 shipping, from Washington State to SW Florida). I followed the instructions and had absolutely no difficulties installing them myself. Included all parts, with switch and relay. Can't see why anyone would mess with the Ebay or Brand-X lights.
2. the Spoiler
3. Yakama Roof Rack
4. Front End Mask
5. Rear Bumper Applique
6. Cargo Liner
7. Floor Mats, front and rear.
8. Cargo Mat
9. tail light garnish
10. Scion license plate frame
11. Center arm rest
12. Door sill enhancements, front
13. Cargo Net
14. Cargo tote
15. Cargo cover.

Not all at the same time. Item for item, best prices on the Internet. Excellent service and communication. Detailed, clear, illustrated instructions with every item. They come from Toyota of Puyallup in Washington state. Brian, in parts, is a big help. Only one item ever arrived damaged (license plate frame) and they replaced it, paying shipping both ways.

I bought my fog lights and kit fro Scionpartspeople.com The manufacturer's original Scion Fog Lights fit into the knock out already there. I was able to reach up and push it out by laying on the ground and extending my arm up, using a little wooden mallet.

Easily released the male plug from the wiring harness and plugged it into the lights. Snapped the lights into place (with adapter provided) They fill and seal the opening. No cutting, no sawing.

Inside I removed glove box and lower section of center of dashboard, found the male plug for the switch, attached the plug and snapped the switch into place in the blank provided on the dashboard. Then removed the plastic cover from below the steering wheel, located the fuse box / relays, moved relay blank, snapped the relay into place and buttoned it all up.

After reattaching the negative battery cable, I adjusted the aim of the headlights as per instructions. Done.

Only tools needed were a Philips and a flat bladed screwdriver. I am 66 with arthritis and did the entire job is a little over an hour, in the parking lot of my condo.

My lights look better than the Walmart or Ebay after market lights without all of hassle with the wiring work and searching for switches. And I paid less than the Ebay costs for the OEM lights.

 

I got my OEM Fogs from the Toyota themselves and IMO they suck. The reflection inside the USDM fog light is non existent. I'm not going to spent $200+ to get the Cool Looking JDM OEM style fogs and for what its worth, $20 Walmart or autozone fog lights are brighter and i like the spot they sit in on the lower grill.

 

REVIVE!!!

I am about to buy a HID kit for these fog lights, has anyone done this before? I am slightly worried about a melting problem among other things, so any feedback would be much appreciated.

Has anyone done this before?

 

I am wondering about the fitment not the burning, as HIDs are brighter but run cooler than halogens

 

HIDs will glare because they are not designed to be used in traditional reflective housings, you might want to look for some projector fogs.

I'm getting tired of the uselessness of the factory fogs and am thinking about putting fogs in the bottom grill. Would it look ok to leave the factory ones installed, maybe even wire them up together, or should remove them and put in the inserts?
