Aftermarket foglights for the xB at a competitive price? There are all kinds of options for tail and headlamps, but none that I've found for decent foglamps. Toyota's price is just nutz! They want $60 just for the stinkin' relay!
If Toyota would price things more reasonably, they would probably sell lots more of them.

Really? Only $60 for the relay? I didn't know that.

Yeah, I wonder why there is no aftermarket copy of the stockers?

The likelyhood of aftermarket foglights for XB's is low because they would be the only application they would fit .. not a promising business outlook ... However we need to find someone who can work plastic or fiberglass to make a cover that houses more popular fogs such as round lights. I think a triple round light setup in each foglight cover would look nice ... Unfortunately, metal will not bend to my will enough to make one, but I encourage those who work fiberglass, carbonfiber or plastic to mold one.

Well, $45.25 plus tax (and say $3 to ship it anywhere in the continental US) if you know the right guy...

damn you! i've been wanting to do that forever i was just going to post up 3 in the housing space with no cover, just as you would when installing them in a grill, etc. i guess you were looking to have them "housed"?

trikkonceptz, what about the dual halo projectors and taillights? They don't fit on any other car but there's still a bunch of options for them... I hope some company gets off their ___ and makes a set of fogs for us soon. I would definately buy some fogs if they were under $150.

Actually there are lots of aftermarket projector headlight and tailight assemblies that ONLY fit xBs, and they seem to sell lots of them. I would think that the foglight assemblies would sell even more, since it is a popular item and Toyotas are so expensive.
