DIY Foot well lights - power source?

[JayGee]

Hi,

Been a while since my last visit

I want to install foot well lights in my Yaris.
The idea is to have them working with the dome/cabin light - not on all the time or with the headlights.

I've had a look at the dome light and there are three wires connected to it. Presumably GND, door open and map lights(?)
I'm not sure which to use and if there is maybe a source underneath the dash already.

Surely someone on here has done this on their Gen III.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If I am not mistaken, your 3rd gen Yaris was made in France.

Looking at the European wiring diagrams, your positive connection will be the sky blue wire in pin 5 of connector 3A, and your door-switched negative connection will be the black wire at pin 6 of connector 3B. Both of these connectors are on the face of the under-dash fuse panel.

These connector diagrams are from the perspective of looking into the pin holes of the connector.

Thanks a lot!
The car was indeed made in France.
I'll have a look this weekend.

Got it working, thanks.

I chickened out cutting wires from the connectors, so I ran wires from the dome light instead. I used existing holes underneath the dashboard to mount the lights. Didn't want to cut wires or drill holes as I want to be able to reverse the DIY without trace when I sell on the car, not too long from now.

I'll see what it looks like tonight!

Thanks again.

Your idea of having them operating is great. Any chance of pics showing how it works?

Which one set would you recommend? There are plenty of them available on aftermarket and I find it awkward to choose the right one.

thanks

This was 2 years ago...

The way I would do it would be similar to how I did my ignition LED - wire it to the dome light so that when your dome light is triggered by your door, the LEDs would also come on.

I can't imagine they would draw too much power..

I am looking to fit foot well light in my Mk3. I have asked the dealer for sockets (no 1, 2, 3 on attached diagram) He said he never heard if any Yaris had foot well lights equipped (!) I even told him the owners manual mentioned foot well lights as an option. After he typed my reg number and we went to the diagram (the same one like attached) he informed me parts 1, 2, 3 are not applicable for my car so he cannot order them. I had the same situation (with the same uneducated mongol) when asked for EOM Daytime Running Lights kit. I have supplied him with the part number (PZ426-B0511-00) and the answer was the same: "not applicable for your car" To me its obvious some parts may not be applicable as they were not designated to my model.

Is there any other way to get those parts?

Your dealer is being an ass, just go to a different dealer if there are any close by..

Some dealers are like that because they do not want to take the responsability if the part does not fit/work.

To me it looks they are not trained propely and have no knowledge at all. I can't understand how on earth he had a neck to offer me a fog lamp kit (worth £150) which required a separate wiring circuit, where I found out (thanks to yarisworld.com) the european models (like mine) have been already pre-wired for fog lamp, so only thing what I needed was a pair of lamps & a stalk with front fogs?

Finally I've managed to fit them.

just plug & play

As far as I know the French build Yaris is pre-wired for:
- front fogs
- cruise control
- footwell lights
- ...(what else is there to discover?)

Do you have glove box light equipped? If not, your model has that connector too.

I don't have the glove box light equipped. I've tried to locate it and found 2 unused connectors (ref. the picture) I am not sure if any of them are glove box light connector. If anyone know the part number of the glove box light would be appreciated.

It is exactly the same part that goes for foot light. The connector is also the same. Since it's RHD I'm not sure where it should be hidden, but on LHD vehicles is taped on the cable connected to airbag-off switch. It is probably near all those cablings from your picture. Could you make another image of upper right corner of that inner part of dashboard? You will find that F103 connector (it should be black ) is glove box light (red and white wire).

I had a good look and discover mounting place for glove box light (pic. 1) I have used my footwell light for demonstration (however it didn't fit perfect so maybe the right one is slightly different. When ordered with the number parts it was only two in the bag) After a number of attempts I did not located any connector near the airbag-off connector.
The footwell light connectors were clearly visible, just hanging out. Unfortunately in my model there is nothing near the glove box light mounting

According to this catalogue, part number should be 81080-22040

After typing my VIN on the website from your last post it says footwell light are not applicable(?)

http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_E_201...FNKW_8121.html

I don't understand how it works when my car is pre-wired for footwell lights but they are not applicable? This is where the confusion is coming from

I've managed to get footwell lights only after I've noticed them in my friends 2015 Yaris Hybrid so by giving his registration number to the dealer I was able to place an order.
I am not sure Gagi if the glove box light has the same part number as the footwell lights. As you said in the post before, your Yaris (and probably my firends too) is pre-wired/ready only for footwell lights so I think using the part number you provided we can get only a set of footwell lights only.
Taking your word on board I am not going to give up make us 100% sure whether my model has the black connector for glove box light or not.
I'm going to do some work on my car next weekend (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2522411108...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) so I will also take a good look at it.

All this about dealers makes me crazy. But they are not enthusiastic for sure .
Thing is, if you bought car without footwell lights, they in theory are not applicable (like car bought without cruise control, it works when you install stalk, or it works always, you just need switch to turn it on, but still not applicable). Dealers have catalogs, and if your VIN shows NO, they just won't bother with that. On the other hand, at the production line it would be time consuming to worry about different cablings for hundreds of submodels. This is why you have many unused connectors in car.
So back to the dealer. You need to provide part number from catalogue instead of VIN if you are planning to retrofit something. If they ask why do you need that, simply answer that Toyota needs more of your money. Before I bought footwell LED's, I tested connectors with multimeter, to see how they are going to operate. Only after that I ordered two pieces.
If you look carefully in that page of web catalogue, you will notice that you have two types of LED's. One with part number 81080-0D010 that is valid for models made after March 2014, and one with part number 81080-22040 for vehicles made from 02/2012 until 01/2014.
Both parts are for footwell lights and for glove box. Also image of each LED corresponds to exact fitting position in vehicle in comparison to instrument panel image.
