I used the hole that is used by the tube that leads the water out of the aircondtioning system. This hole leads to the engine bay. I cut a small piece out of the rubber to allow the wires through. I placed the wires above the tube so that the water won't drip into the wires. Bear in mind, RHD setup is quite different from LHD so the hole I'm talking about might be in a different place for LHD versions.

Yes. The original wiring was insufficient to set up properly. You'd probably need about several meters of wire:

- about 1.5 meters for the thick black 12v wire connecting to the + battery terminal
- about 2 meters for the thick red 12v wire connecting to the fog lights
- about 2 meters for the thick red switched 12v wire (I used the same thick red ones but you can use thinner ones) to reach the park light wires near the headlight assembly.
- about 1 meter of the ribbed tube to cover the wires.

Instead of splicing wires, I used connectors and a crimper to make it safe and secure.

Welcome,

so happy to see the result

LoK. · 02-28-2007, 08:09 PM

as400g33k, where did you source the +12V parker light wire? Behind the steering column, behind the glovebox, or behind the headlight itself?

Do your fog lights work in all headlight switch positions (i.e. parkers, low beam, high beam)?

Hi just would like to ask where did you get the fog light covers? From toyota dealer or was it included in the package?

Cheers

as400g33k · 03-05-2007, 06:12 PM

QUESTION:
I have mine installed this way:

I purchased the base for the bulbs but when i removed the bumper i found that the factory harness and plug was already there, followed the cable inside the dash and removed from the plug, connected that cable to a relay and from the relay to a fuse and that to a live line to the battery. The relay is powered by the key switched line and then to a switch. Problem is that the line marked in red in the diagram gets hot. Is this normal or what should i do to prevent this???

Kitt · 03-21-2007, 08:06 PM

Low in should be the line that comes from your switch, low out should be ground, 30a in, from your battery and 30a out should go to your fogs... This is a standard type of relay, they usually have a diagram printed on its side, if you could post a picture of it i may help you better

rwseattle · 03-21-2007, 10:33 PM

My PC is not downloading the relay pix. I'm not sure why. I will downloaden tomorrow at work. The relay does not show any wiring diagram. It only says YLE YL-388-S Automotive relay 12V/40A. I got 4 connectors and they're all the same size. I will post pix tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Kitt · 03-21-2007, 10:39 PM

It should have something like this...

post the picture anyways and i'll see what i can do

rwseattle · 03-22-2007, 04:48 PM

Hopefully this helps.

Kitt · 03-22-2007, 05:01 PM

ummmm not that much tough... you will need a continuity tester then to find it out. The 2 connectors that have continuity are ones that will go to the switch and to the ground, the other two ones will come from the fuse to the fog lights...
and try to post a bigger picture to see if it helps, focused on the pins of the relay

redyaris · 03-28-2007, 09:46 AM

Foglights installed and functional...the best mod for me yet!!!

rwseattle · 03-28-2007, 12:33 PM

I found the correct connection. I did use the continuity tester. I will post pictures of working fog lights soon. I'm installing a front strut bar and will post pictures all together. Thank you for your help.
