The Tyco VFM-11F41-Z16 is an aftermarket equivalent, which is less than $10 US.

That relay I use to my friend yaris...18€....dealer price 90€...the same job..

That connector diagram is showing it from the pin side, so imagine flipping that diagram to the left, like flipping a page, then you are looking into pins 3 and 4 where the green and violet wires are.

If you wanted to test without crimping, you just stick a paperclip or piece of stripped wire into the back of those two wire holes to make contact with the pins.

To turn the fogs on you can splice those two wires in place - you do not need to cut them, as the OEM fog light switch would simply complete the connection between the two wires.

If you wanted to use a switch you could tap a wire separately to each and go from the wire to one of the switch contacts. You only need a single pole switch, so just two contacts are used.

I didn't know a t-tap/scotch lock can just combine 2 wires together without one end of a wire cut off. Or did you mean like stripping the middle of each wire and that twisting them together? And if I were to wire my fog lights this way, the fogs likes will be on & off with respect to my DRL, Low Beam, and Hi-Beam being on & off?

I was actually planning to just use the four wire switch that comes with the fog light kit. So should the install be something like what I thought of before:

Thanks once again for the prompt reply! And I'm really sorry if it seems like I'm sounding too dense, I just want to make sure everything is correct before I start the install.

Some are capped on one end for one wire, but most are open on both ends allowing tapping of two wires without cutting either.



If the kit was aftermarket you will likely not be able to use the switch, as the aftermarket foglight kits have internal circuitry which bridges the switching and illumination circuits. The OEM switch does not do this, so you would either need to modify the aftermarket switch or use a generic switch.

Ooo, I thought that all scotch locks had a sealed end on one side; thanks for letting me know. As for the a generic switch, would this one do?

Also I tried removed the lower switch panel with some prying toolstoday, but it just wouldn't budge. Can I just pry it open enough and than just apply controlled force to pull it off?

I am not sure on the switch. Not enough info to tell.

I believe only the switch blank removes, not the whole panel. I personally have not taken apart a 3rd gen.
