Those fog light covers

I don't own a Gen 4, but if it's like other cars you'll have to remove the bumper cover and there should be some tabs holding the inserts on which you can depress and pop them off.

 

Wondered what those were for. Do other models use hose holes for something?

 

You need to take off the inner wheel well to have access to them from the back (unless you want to take off the whole front bumper). Those cover are held in place by a few screws.
Should wait a bit for the aftermarket to come out...or just get OEM replacement (better quality).

 

I have the fog lights but they do not use those holes.

 

That's a great idea though. I hate those black hole fillers.

 

I wonder what they are for?

Another pedestrian safety device? Perhaps without them the front end of the car would be so pretty that pedestrians would be awestruck and unable to move out of the way. So Toyota dialed the pretty back a notch by adding those ugly plates. There, I've figured it out!

 

What holes are you talking about?

 

I'm pretty sure this:



It might be possible to pop them out from the front, using a knife blade. Push on one side, see if that opens up the gap on the opposite edge. That's how I've popped out the tow hook covers on our 2010.

And if that proves difficult, look underneath, see how the underbody and fender liner is secured. Likely with a few fasteners removed you'd be able to reach in and release clips from behind.

 

Here's what I did on mine while installing angel eyes, remove 2 bolts from i piece only undercover panel right underneath fog lights.
Fog light covers was only held by 2 philips screws (top and bottom) a slot clip, there's plenty of room, unfortunately my Eco wasn't pre-wired for fog lights.

 

yes two philip screws and a slot clip, no write up needed, pretty easy straightforward, angel eyes for now ti'll i decide to put OEM boomerang fog lights later.

 

What hump?

See the color matching decorative plates on pics above. What are those for?

 

Over to the right 8" where the covers are located. But do have a question about those holes now.

 

Vince those circles look great, especially with your metallic grey color. They really set it off.

 

thanks Jim.
