I guess I can understand both sides of the argument here (the "Why doesn't he follow the advice he was given when he asked" and the "Do what YOU want to do because ultimately you are only trying to please yourself.")
It's a tough choice, especially if you don't hear what you were hoping for, or if the advice is to do nothing. I will commend you for losing it and falling back on insults. Too many people do that, and it really doesn't solve anything much.
So, enjoy the pic (which is why I took the photo in the first place) and have fun with trying to figure out the car thing.
I already chose to keep my Yaris :D I bought these fog lights to get mounted on Friday aswell.

Any opinions? Or know anything about these anyone>?

To those in the OP's situation:

If you couldn't get the loan for the Tacoma, you have zero business owning a Mustang. The insurance is equally the difference on what you would have paid for the Tacoma. So in short, if the BANK, the greediest of all people won't lend you money, that should tell you something about your finances.


It's a good idea that you kept your Yaris. Based on your age, I'm going to gander it's probably the threshold of affordability, as well.

That logo is pretty mesmerizing. Other than that I don't know much about fogs. Good luck with them though. I always wished fogs had come with my sedan too when I still had it.

Kinda glad you didn't get a mustang because every time someone buys a mustang a fairy dies. It's true.

Blazer makes lamps and lights for GM, kinda like how denso does for Toyota. The critical part is the install... Proper wires, switches, fuses, and relays.

Theyre gonna bolt them on just infront of the slots where they should be, you guys thinnk it's worth it? And it comes with a switch and wiring inside etc they will wire them to my low beams apparently.

What do I do? I have up until friday to decide if I don't want them on.

It just bugs me they re going to put a hole in my car where it shouldnt be. Maybe I could get them put behind the grille in the centre of the car on the bottom?

Still willing to by fogs if anyone has them for a sedan.

If you plan to install them... it would have to be in the lower front grille. They will actually look okay there. Anywhere else would just look very odd.

Don't understand why you don't get fogs from Garm. Go to the bank (CDN$ almost at par now), purchase a money order, post it to Garm, and he'll send you the fogs. With just a little patience, your car will look better... and you'll be much happier in the end.

I'd wire them up to a seperate switch, but it's a personal preference thing. Fog lamps are pretty much just decorative if there's no actual fog. . . kind of a waste of bulbs to leave them on all the time.

Putting them behind the grill will cut light output, so unless you can have them completely clear the spacing, you SHOULD make some cuts to have them be functional. Make sure they are using a seperate power line and not just wiring them up from the headlights' hot power lead, otherwise you'll end up with melted wires. The Yaris is already prewired for fog lights, you just need to buy the switch assembly which might be hard for you to get. . .

The proper install is a direct wire to the battery, a relay, and interior switch. It should be on it's own circuit.

I agree 100%.

How does a Money Order work? And how the hell do I get garm to talk to me.

And does his foglight kit come with the switch assembly or whatever?

A money order is like a certified check. . . you give them cash, they give you a money order. Money orders can be cashed at banks. And you can contact garm via his website, PM, or email.

How the hell do I give him a cheque? I'd have to send it in the mail no?

Not a check, a money order. You walk into a bank, give them cash, and they give you a money order. And yes, mail it using certified mail. It takes just a couple days and you get confirmation that it's been received. Money orders are safe to mail, there's no personal account numbers or identification attached; just certified funds made out to him. Once he receives it, he can ship you the parts. Do you not have mail where you live?

If a money order is sooooo complicated, just go to a friggin western union. OMG dude, it's seriously NOT THAT HARD.

You can also get a prepaid credit/debit card to make purchases online.

Canadian money orders are valid in the USA, if sent to a recipient in the USA. . . plus Garm won't have to ship anything until the funds clear anyway, which they will since they can be cashed (assuming he doesn't take the M.O. to Somalia or something). . .

Look at line 371.52.
