Hi All, I am ashamed this has to be my first post ever...but I asked for fog lights for my 2005 xB for X-mas. Guess what...yup I got them but my little sister brought them from Atomic Street Team Ebay store...
and there is no instructions and they wiring is not even close to the Stock Scion Fog lights. the only thing similar is that they will fit into the slots other than that I don't have a clue where to start.
Can any one please help me.

Of course as most auto ebay items there is no returns and they are not responding back to my email questions asking what color wires are what. I am stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

Any suggestions. Many thanks Garrett

 

some pic of the stuff you do have mite hepl us help you.

 

No, the wiring does need to be reworked... I can't remember exactly what needs to be done, but there are definitely people here who can help.

 

I just posted three pictures of the light kit to my gallery. Thank you so much for your help

 

#1 most of us use photobucket.com to post pics, its real simple

heres you pics

 

Thank you so much ever one has been more than nice on this message board..I really dig the vibe

 

^ There are some super helpful and very friendly people here... it's a pretty good community we have going.

 

yah its cool here most of time unless you ask about MPG.
if enyone ever gets rude with you just ignor them.

 

i got these same foglights, they are a pain in the azz to install, but i was able to get them up and running. i have no idea what the second wirring harnes is, i dont think you need it. the xb is already pre wired for the fog lights. more than likely you will need new plastic plugs that fit on the back of the lights(wich allow you to put them into the bumber cutout) you will also probably need a relay, i can find you the part numbers on these. you can get a relay from autozone for 20bucks, and those plugs i was talking about are like a 1.25 from the dealership. dude, i live in toledo too.

if you do need the relay,i got this one from autozone, its a direct fit, GP Sorensen part number is 41-5154. if you go to autozone and ask for the toyota relay, they have to order it and they charge you like 50-60 dollars, this one is 21 dollars

 

Thank you so much for your help...the puzzle is getting closer to completion.

Things I think I need to buy...

1. New spacer brackets for the fog lights
2. New wiring connector for my on/off switch

The kit did come with an automotive relay (YL-388-S) 12v/40A, form looking over the link that was posted for JDM Fog Install...it seems to me that this relay might just work.

This is another guide that I have been looking at online http://www.trdsparks.com/install/08590-52820inst.pdf

Leov36- Again many thanks for the help...I am from Toledo, but am currently living and working in Vermont. There is zero automotive clubs/stores/resources were I live so Scionlife is totally my life line.

 

putting the relay in under the dash is such a pain to do

These are not the true bB foglights correct?

 

Correct...they are true cheap ebay lamps. You get what you pay for..but it was a gift from the family so what are you going to do? Do you have any advice? Have you had to deal with this problem before? Thanks

 

sell 'em on ebay, and get the OEM fogs instead

 

I looked back at the ebay site agian...and they say they are OEM but? I would not be able to tell...this is the link.

^ Those that are listed are not the OEM fogs. They are the Ebay fogs..........

 

Thanks for telling it to me straight...I should sells these bull____ fogs and by the right ones...it seems like it would save be a bunch of hassle.
