I am really close to buying those....but I would upgrade the bulbs to GE Nighthawks.

Apparently the yaris comes pre wired up for fogs. There are supposed to be plugs behind the empty spots on the bumper.

I'll say, go with it! They look nice, complete, and they are cheap.

Sorry, as I know this doesn't really help, but I bought the same thing from Ebay and it's been sitting due to my busy schedule. They look nice and factory. The box has a pic of Yaris and says Toyota Belta, which is the China version of Yaris, looks exactly the same. (It's made in China). I guess I will install them the same time I get an Inalfa moonroof put it. Can't wait!

Just thought someone should mention that "OEM Style" is different than OEM. Although they may fit, they are not factory Toyota parts, but made by an aftermarket company. - Mike

I didn't really want to shell out for the OEM Toyota made units, especially since I'll be dissassembling them to retrofit projectors in... you'll just have to wait and see, I plan on posting many pictures of the process and the finished product... I thought about using Hella MicroDE's, however, I've found something else to use, and I think the finished product will look really nice.

Are there any fog lights that integrate the fog light on/off switch with the stick on the steering wheel that has the headlight controls?

To heck with the fog lights.

How much for the lady in red at the top left corner?

Hubba hubba!

How do you know that the vehicle comes pre-wired for fogs? Has anyone try hooking the fogs up with "pre-wired" wires? I would imagine that we can just wire-up the fogs, purchase a foglight integrated stalk and replace them by unplugging the non-fog stalk and plugging in the new one. Am I correct?

Can you buy the actual OEM fogs from Toyota (just the parts for self install)? I looked at Sparks and didn't see them.

Anybody install these yet? Do they come with an aiming mechanism like the factory fogs or do you just have to take what your bumper gives you.

Yes you can buy the OE units from your Toyota dealership's parts department but they quoted me a 368.72 USD price tag. As for the fog control on the stalk, they didn't have that part available, the parts guy thinks it's only available so far on Yarii that have factory installed fogs, but he also couldn't find a part number for it, so it may not even be available for LHD Yarii... remember, Japanese Vitzes have their stalk controls reversed... so we cant just get the Japanese part.

Mine did not come stock with the car, but were factory-installed, and there's a button for them on the center console, under the handbrake area, even though there is a fog lamp control on the stalk. I guess this is good, I can turn on the front fogs without blinding people behind me, or vice versa.

I take it on yours, the button is for the rear fog? Over here, all the kits and dealer installed fogs use a button for the front fogs (Rear fogs are not equipped on US cars, we have two reverse lights instead) What we are trying to figure out is if any USDM Yaris have a stalk-type fog light control... I still haven't seen a US Yaris with factory installed fogs to check if they still use the button, or if they have a stalk control.

Rear fogs were stock, so the stalk controls that. Front ones were added later, and controlled by the console button.

So has anyone installed an eBay fog? Are the aimable?

I had to return the PIAA driving lamps I purchased for my car after I got the bumper off and saw that the fogs attach inside the bumper and there is no place to attach a traditional mounting bracket.

I went ahead and ordered a pair from eBay that I'll have to retrofit some other reflector into as I plan to use these as my high beams after my HID retro. Why do I always have to be the guinea pig around here?

you could always just retro a bi-xenon projector into your headlight

I know - I want the ability to flash my high beams when the lights are off though.

paultyler_82

12-19-2006, 02:08 AM

You can with a bixenon projector, occasional flash isn't as harmful for current generation ballasts and bulbs as it used to be, many vehicles that have xenon only from the factory do this when you flash the highs with lights off.

alrighty. after letting the box sit since september i'll install them tomo, on wed 12/20. then i'll be nice and post pics :) (ebay oem style fog lights for sedan)

paultyler_82

12-19-2006, 10:16 PM

I did not know that.

Still driving around big rigs, I like to let them know when it's safe to change lanes. I probably give more than an occasional flash.

Besides, I already have all my parts here or on their way.

Anyway, make sure you show plenty of pics of your retro, I'm going to be doing bi-xenon whenever I get my OWN Yaris (currently without Yaris, because the significant other and I are no longer together) And I'd love to see what projectors look like in the liftback's housing before I do my own

You bet.

My headlamp housings have shipped from Sparks so I'll start this weekend. I'm not sure how long it will take as I'm also renovating two bathrooms and trying to be a good Dad to three girls while also modding my Yaris but I will post plenty of photos.

I'm thinking of retrofitting those Bosch mini H3 projectors into the fog light housing and removing the shield for my high beams (HID lows would always stay on). Do you have any opinion on that paul?

I've heard from the folks on Hidplanet that the Bosch mini H3's make only so-so fogs, and terrible hi-beams. The problem is, in removing the shield entirely, the light cant be focused at all and by the time the scattered light is through the projector lens, it's so dispersed that it's practically unusable. That's why bi-xenon projectors only raise the shield, to move the cutoff upward and allow more light to be focused in a forward pattern, with any projector if you remove the shield completely, the light output pattern tends to suck. Everyone on Hidplanet is fairly unanimous that if you use single-xenon low beam, you should go with reflectored halogen hi-beam.

Violin

12-20-2006, 11:18 PM

Actually that's where I was reading up them. The photo that someone posted looked OK to me. Remember, I'm not really trying to get anything more than a 'flash to pass' function and the ability to put some light up on street signs, etc.

What kind of reflector could I retro into those eBay fogs? (there's just not enough room in our housing to squeeze a high beam in and have it look half-way decent, I don't think.)

paultyler_82

12-20-2006, 11:25 PM

That's the tricky part, maybe if you just aimed them a bit upward, and put in a slightly higher wattage bulb (though I'm not sure the wiring and housing would like that...)

EDIT *** Oh hell... I was just thinking, if you like the mini H3's pattern... you may just try retroing it it with your low beam, provided your HID projector is small enough, there's probably enough room... I mean, the Q45 projector will fit in there for god's sake, I would think a small halogen projector and a small to medium HID projector should be able to fit! It may take a bit more custom work and elbow grease, but it would certainly look a bit better and a little less odd than using a fog for hi-beam.

Violin

Well my heart is pretty much set on using the Audi A4 bezel in there already.

Once I get the headlamp opened up, I may feel differently.

Violin

Her's the thread I was thinking of: http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20468

It's not the Bosch, but another H3 projector used as a high beam. I'd be happy with results like those.

Violin

12-21-2006, 10:43 AM

Using the H3 Osram Super (european version) I'd have 1,600 lumens compared to 1,500 for our stock high beams.

Violin

12-21-2006, 04:01 PM

Putting two projectors in our headlamp would look something like the left side of this Cayenne S lamp. I don't think it would be a good look.

Hey Nick, if this is so where are the wires for the switch hidden(where does the switch go?) I have never seen a yaris with factory fog lights Thanks This could work out nicely.:bow:

All the fog lights on eBay seem to be Xenons, but I'd really like fogs that blend in well with the stock headlights. Anyone know where to find them?

Yeah I havent found foglights as a option so that is why I was woundering this says oem. I think it needs foglights for look reasons and for performance.

Eh? Just look for Yaris Fog, you'll find several "OEM-Style" kits that all fit in on the built in brackets and have the surrounds and everything, and they all use halogen bulbs.
