Fog lights?

Fog lights?
Noob ?: Anyone have any reccomendations on fog lights for the xA Release 1.0? I would like to use them on my very stock xA (the holes are in the grill already), but am looking for opinions/examples from people that have them already. Thanks!

P.S. Are their any headlight/taillight kits (HID or similar) for the xA?

I got the factory kit from Spark's Scion (ask for Ken) for $218. The kit comes with the wire harness, relay and switch. It main harness is already there so it just plugs in.
However, I want my fogs to be independent of the headlights so I'm looking to get them wired differently.

if you want to wire the fogs independantly, just tap into the hot supply line for the harness and power it off a different source.
oh, as far as "bit of a squeeze" you do have to trim some of the rubber inside the bumper area. not visible from the outside. the lights are maybe 1/8" too large to fit the holes, but i built aluminum "brackets" to hold them into place very securely.
i only have pictures of them installed.

Nice...
Thanks for the help everyone! I would like the foglights to be independant of the main's as well...any specifics/sites/guides you have on tapping the power for this? The cutting and mounting part is not the problem, but as for electrical, that's a whole other ballgame. Thanks!

find a good + source under the dash. i used a test light and found a wire that was hot with the ignition switch in the ON position, but not hot when ign = off.
then use that as your source. i can't really explain it any easier.. there are some blanks in the fuse panel that have this power source.

Control / Switch?
CivicEater: how do those lights work?
Is there a switch setting to turn on the "Angel Eye" part, then the main bulb separately?
Or does the Angel Eye turn on with the headlights - like a BMW's?
Thanks!

it's a 3 way rocker.. one for angel eye, one for the actual bulb.
Epitrochoid you may have to do some testing of your own.. remember, it's only 2 wires to power the fogs, a + and a ground. honestly, all that other wiring is a waste, unless you want to hook into the stock harness.
