Factory rear fog lamp ?
I have a 2005 Vitz RS (JDM). What I thought was just my rear reflectors also seem to be the fog light. In my Japanese manual there is a diagram showing the replacement of the bulb there. Also i have seen another RS with those lights lit up. I spent a few mins looking around in my car and could not see any easy way of checking if there is a bulb or any wiring there.
Anyone have any advice on how I can check it ? i've put a pic of my reflector/light Its the ones on the bumper. |

Peek up under the bumper and see if there is a wire going to one or both of them. I think that the reflectors are only replaced with lights in certain markets.

The ones that you have are the rear reflector-type.
You can buy the rear fog lamps but mostly likely you'll have to wire them up yourself. The rear fogs look like these. |

Were can you buy the car side harness? Or does anyone know how they function? Are they essentially extra running/brake light? Or is there a switch for them like Audi?

On the Yaris / Vitz from areas where they are factory installed, they are controlled by the rear fog light switch and relay, which are separate from the front fog light switch and relay. I appears also that the rears can only be turned on when the headlight is on and the front's are on.

So I have the rear fog lights and I have the rear fog light harness what I essentially want to do is make them work like factory the problem is my car side plug only has two wires the fog light harness has all 10 if I remember correctly wires pinned to the connector. How can I obtain this switch and relay? Everything is installed (fog and harness wise only thing that works is 1 of the 2 license plate lights as I have the JDM bumper)

I should also add I have factory fogs and already removed my DRL Relay (ground out fog wire). Does the switch give option to one or the other? Or both at same time?
