Total cost to install in a Yaris? (x 2 for me).

I would think that if you mounted them in the standard fog lamp position they would be too low to have any effective use as regular headlights. I had a Mustang that I mounted 100w fog lamps on a switch to either side of the pony in the grill to use as headlights since I had headlight covers. They seemed to work but they were real bright, and I only got pulled over once... for forgetting to turn my regular headlights on...! Paid maybe $50 for them.
