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'd get OEM-style fogs from eBay, and an OEM foglight switch for ~$50 for plug and play. I'd keep the DRL LED lights at they are.

Got to be careful about quality from eBay however... some of those "OEM style" foglight kits are too cheaply made.

Here's a question. How does the trd Cai work on the 13? The vent is full of lights....?

Before replacing them with too bright of a light or fog lights consider this:
Sicon put them there as an accent light to go along with daytime running lights.
should you want to replace them with brighter "accent lights" in the same location I think that would be cool too. But if you replace them with fog lights made for high intensity lumin displacement you may run into trouble with your local law enforcement and cause others vision at night to be hindered. I would run seperate fog lights in a didderent location and increse the "accent" led's with slightly brigter ones. i.m.o.

The front cheek "vents" on all stock Xbs are blocked/fake.

For the 2008-2010 models, the older model TRD CAI shipped with a functional grill that replaced the left-hand fake vent, so some cold air could actually be fed to the inlet of the CAI.

No such luck for the 2011-present models. In fact the newer model TRD CAI simply pulls air from the void behind the fender, so no new source for actual cold air.

Theirs a company that makes replacement lights for the bumper inserts that are plug and play @ www.rostra.com list is like 400 bucks but if you go to http://www.charafa.com/rostra-260-1002-xb1.html they're going for about 250 . Look good and are bright, I'm ordering some in the new year.

Oh. I didn't know that the 2.5 didn't have functional grill insert for the driver side. I'll still just cut every other slot out like you did brick

lol
I have a lifted 2500hd with HIDs in the headlights and fogs. Roll with them on BLAST from sundown to sunup

However, I keep it classy. I adjusted them @100yds out with a spotter, so no artificial sunrise for oncoming traffic. I would do the same with any put on the xb.

Thanks for all the input so far. you people are awesome:cheers:

Do you happen to know what bulb those roll with? Can HID's be put in them?

Lamp Replacement Guide View All Bulbs

Sylvania doesn't even list the Xb2 as having fogs

 

[TartanJack]

Those are H11 bulbs, same as the headlamps.

 

[richard cheese]

Has anyone put HID's in the oem fogs?

How are they holding up...the fog lenses?

this is my setup 10k hid up top and 55 watt 3k bulbs on fogs
