Morimoto XB led fog lights from TRS

So a few weeks ago, I installed fog lights for my 2012 Yaris. I had yellow Lamin-x film with Nokya 3000k bulbs in them. They provided decent about of light output, however, on black Friday I stumbled upon the Morimoto XB led fog lights and decided to give them a try. I took advantage of the 15 % off Black Friday discount.

I'll let the pics do the talking :)

Now with Led Fog lights you can spay them with yellow lens paint an keep retro style and keep the same brightness.

I really want these for my wife's 09 Yaris 5dr. I want her to have more light in rain and bad weather. Do you feel this light pattern does that?

Yes for sure. Makes the extra difference in lighting during raining and foggy days :)

Hey, great work! Think I might just need to go this route as well! Would you happen to have any output shots at night? Do these fogs give off enough throw to see things at a far distance?

yup, still really happy with them, no problems so far.

LEDS should last longer than halogen or hids :)

Wow! I only just finished installing a new set of fog lights from MC. What a difference they make on the road! I can actually see the road in front properly. (as the pictures show above)
I feel like this is one things that should have come standard with this car.
