Thanks. (salamat)
American Products Comp. is the brand. I'll have to check back with you on the particular model number REpPINOY. The kit was retailed for $60 at an autoparts store here on the east coast called Advance Auto Parts.

Sorry, no pics. I'll take some when I get a chance. Maybe next weekend I'll post them tikiboy. But, I'll tell you now that I used the same brackets that's commonly used to support garage door motor assembly. More details on the way when I do post them.

Well, I'm not exactly from the east coast. I should have stated central east. I'm here in Illinois. And "no" I completely rewired and routed my own harness so the fogs are "on" when the headlights are "off".

I chose the amber fiber-optic ring to stay legal. I even integrated relays in the circuit that make them work with the turn signals. They alternately flash from the original turn signal bulb in the headlight housing.

I'm in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. I see you're from IL. to SCOTT8. Do you know that there's going to be a Scion car show at Continental Scion in Countryside, IL. Date is set on May 13th in the evening around 5pm to 9pm. There's more details about the show on this site.
Just go under "forums", then choose "regional areas" from the sub listing, and select "Great Lakes" for category listings.

I work at night, so I'll probably not be able to make it. Thanks for the heads up.
Was more wondering if you would like to fabricate some fog lights for me since your local? I am actually in Naperville

Here's how I mounted the fogs.
I used 4 pieces of angle iron brackets (2 per side) and connect 2 pieces together at both ends with nuts and bolts to form an L-shape. Required tools are:
1. Cut off tool
2. Metal cutting hole saw.
3. Box wrenches
4. 1/4 ratchet wrench w/ sockets
Here's pics of left side fog bracket.
The vertical side of L-bracket mounts against the left side radiator support frame of vehicle. Two holes were drilled through the radiator support frame for nut and bolt access. I didn't take my chances of using regular drill bits so I used hole saws for careful drilling around the radiator.
The horizontal side of L-bracket is where the fog bracket sits. The 2 red marks in this picture shows you that the surface of the radiator support frame is not flat. So modifications of L-bracket was done using a cut off tool for flush fitment.
There are 2 air bag SRS sensors (one on each side) mounted on the radiator support frames. Again, modifications of L-bracket was done for SRS sensor clearance.
To prevent accidental air bag deployment, battery needed to be disconnected for SRS system deactivation.
Straight up view.
Right side fog bracketing.

Best of luck to whoever decides to make this a project.
