Who else has LED fog lights?

I'm new to this forum, but I have had my FR-S for about three weeks now. My vehicle came with the "premium" package with audio, LED daytime/fog lights, and a bolted down spoiler. I have not seen the LED daytime lights for sale separately on Scion's website, but I am curious to hear your opinions on the circular fog lamps compared to the LED strips.

I'm debating on which one to install. This is my last cosmetic mod I'm looking forward to. I haven't seen any pictures that really emphasize the brightness of the led though. Meanwhile fog lights really fill that empty void that the frs truly needs, at least IMO. However I do like the way the leds accentuate the exterior, it brings almost a luxury perspective to the already common fog light scene.

Hopefully this will help you make a decision. This is what they look like at night.

I do feel like they add a luxury touch to the car, and it seems to attract a lot of attention during the day and at night. They also have a power switch that is mounted under the dashboard backlight control so I can go into "stealth" mode.

I have the LEDs as well. They're a much better look in my opinion. I also changed my DRL bulbs to LED to get the same color all over.

Can you post a pic of the switch? I'm assuming it was dealer installed?
Thanks.

Mine is mounted below that. Since I only have one switch, (never had the previous fog lights, so no dimmer)

HIDs, LED turns signals and led strip. And yes it comes with that cheesy on/off switch from the factory.

I think they aren't for sale separately on scions website because they're not an official scion accessory.

They are aftermarket. I got mine from the vendor F-T here on the forums for about $200 several months back now. I wanna say im one of the first 10 or so that got them. Mine are wired to the headlights, when i flip my low beams on i have mine set to dim instead of turn off.

Here's a night pic with stock beams:



and here's a night pic with a 5000K HID kit:




Hope this helps!

Thanks. I think they're only available from certain dealers in certain parts of the country. I'm pretty sure it's a local dealer install, or at least they're installed once they get to the area they're going to be sold. Looks real nice though. I've definetly been wanting them for my raven. Jealous.

No problem. It's interesting that they would modify the cars before selling them, but I'm not complaining because I love the way it looks. Hope you get those lights soon!
