I just noticed that you have a 2011, and they have a different turn signal/running light set-up than 2008-10. Here's a thread on the 2011:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=196044

There are a few different vent visors available. Here is a thread about them:

If you like the AVS Seamless visors that I have, AutoAnything.com has good pricing on them:

Here's the Shark Fin antenna thread:

I haven't seen a 2011 yet, but from that other thread it seems like the 2011 has a small separate bulb for the running light, that is independent of the blinker. You're going to have to verify this for yourself, since you have one to look at in your driveway.

Nice start to the mods.

I just read the parking light thread for the 11s and that looks like it's a really simple mod that you can switch around easily, I'll probably end up doing it xD

wait so theres just a basic light that remains lit? and a separate light that works as the blinker? does that mean i have to just get a white hid light for the one that stays lit and a different hid for the blinker? or led? also if i had to do that how do u think it would look if i kept the basic light hid and just the blinker amber?

The new bulbs won't be HID, just LED or some type of incandescent bulb that looks like HID white. I haven't seen a 2011 to know the bulb options, but it should be pretty easy to figure out once you pull the OEM bulbs out to identify them. Whether or not you keep the turn signals amber, or change them to either white or yellow LED is up to you.
