I haven't done it. I was expecting pre-wired model to be equipped with it.
I know you've mention relay in the previous thread. I can't find it.

Where do I find it & what type of relay do I need?

The relay is a common Toyota 90080-87021. It is located up under the dash (see the blue highlight below):

Ok, I've done my homework, had a look at relay location diagram (from www.toyota-tech.eu) and then went to my car to actually physically locate it (or at least if it isn't there (refferring to CTScott is not), its nest). After what I've seen I believe its located on top of the under the instrument panel fuse box.

To me it looks absolutely nightmare.

As the access to that is not available without removing other components, I think there are only two ways to get there: either remove the upper dash panel or somewhow pull the whole unit (under the instrument panel fuse box) down. I hope I'm wrong on this.

Compare to the 2nd gen. front fog relay location, this one is completely nonsense.

My understanding is that components like fuse, bulb, relay supposed to be accessable. Well done for the designer

I'm going to the dealer tomorrow & see what they say.
