bumper led "accent" light upgrade?
 
I like the fact that Scion put the housing for these "accent" lights on the lower outside bumper.

But, I would like much more light output, more like a fog light, or much brighter LED's, like maybe 6in led bars, like offroad vehicles use.

Does anyone have any knowledge to do this, or if there are plug and play bulbs?

Maybe someone did HID conversions?

Im coming from a vehicle with HID's in my fogs, and I'd like to use these light housings, instead of dropping the coin for the Scion fogs, and getting bent over at the stealership

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks

I am looking for the exact same thing, would like to upgrade the LEDs in these housings for a brighter output... Any help would be great...

This is going to sound dumb, but I just got a 2014 xb with the DRL but I cant seem to get them to turn on. Anything special that needs to be done to get them on?

You have to turn on parking lights ( 1 turn )or headlights ( 2 turns ).

You will notice when they are "on" though, they appear to be off. The only way you can tell (in direct sunlight) if they're on is if you walk up to them and "cup" your hand over them. Then you will see a faint glow.

At night, they're easier to spot :lol:

I was going to do this, but after looking up close at a dealership I was sorely disappointed. After milling around I got 8 of the Maxxima 3/4" triple-LED marker lights and installed them into the small grill inserts, wiring them to the marker lights. I think they turned out quite well! Bright enough during the day and VERY noticeable during the night.

BTW, these are the LED marker lights I used...

autobotguy , nice xB.
about the LEDs (DRLs) I hate them! there bearly noticeable, and don't even match the color of my HIDs :( . I was thinking on adding some fog lights, but I thought it would be too many lights in the front, don't wanna look like a Christmas tree
