When you purchase any after market YARIS fog lights ,ie Sedan or Hatch Back
You should also purchuse or make the following parts
These will allow you to PLUG into the factory wiring (no running wires through firewall) (must have)
PURCHASE FROM Micro Image - cali yaris
The relay goes under the dash as per diagram , (must have)
PURCHASE FROM Micro Image - cali yaris
If you want to use the aftermarket switch supplied you must remove it from the wiring loom supplied
so it looks like the photo, then wire it in as per other diy's (or you can PM me and i wil send you the factory instructions)
Or you can go and buy the factory light stalk and do no wireing in the cabin. just plug it in . (optional )

The harness in these Kits need to be modified if you want to plug into
the factory wiring, thats why you need to make & or buy the above parts .
Otherwise you can use the kit wiring but you will need to find a way to run the wiring into the cabin.
The Choice is yours:thumbup:

I see so with this mod the fog lights will come on when you turn on your lights and no need for a special switch?

You need to use eathier the switch in the kit or buy the light stalk with built in switch from toyota .
the end result by useing factory wiring is the dash symbol for fogs also turns on , and sounds light alarm if they are left on with car turned off .:thumbsup:

PM'ed , but as above you need to purchase or make the above parts in photo's .
if you look at your photo of what you bought the loom on the left goes
under to bonnet and connects to the lights , then make or purchase
the red wires in my first photo . that is what connect you into the factory wiring.
inside the cabin
take the wiring loom on the right in your photo , take the plug that connects to the on/off switch follow the wires back as far as you can
and cut them of the loom (as per photo 3 in my first post)
now depending on how you want your lights to work , will depend on where you put those wires:thumbsup:

09 Hatch use's the same lights as the 06-08, but use's different face plates .
09 faceplate's are only available at the dealer's ,for know , probably until next year. :thumbsup:

Well bought a set of foglights on ebay.. now wishing I would have just bought them at micro image
The switch is not the same size as the others in the center console. I dont feel like dremeling the console just to make a funky long shaped switch fit that will bug me when I look at it and it doesnt match the others. So I was thinking that I might try the fog light Stalk as it would be more convienent anyway. TRD sparks had it for 75 bucks. Has anyone put one of these in and could give me some advice? I have been searching posts and see that it was mentioned you just remove the old and plug in the new. Does this require me to remove the steering wheel also like you need to for the varianble wiper stalk?
Does Micro Image still sell the under the hood red 2 wire connector setup seperatly. I was looking on the site and didnt see it. I could make my own I suppose, just need crimpers and pins.. But was hoping for the convienence of a premade.
Thanks for any help .

PM Garm (CaliYaris) for the wiring kit alone. He should be able to hook you up.
As for the switch, I have an interesting story. The switch that came with my lights off ebay was a bit faulty. When I would turn them on then off then on again fast, they wouldn't come back on the second time. I'd have to leave them off for like 3 seconds first. Then they'd work again. So from a suggestion from CTScott, I tried just bridging the connection and was able to turn them on and off fast. So I replaced the stupid fog switch with a little general-use rocker on/off switch. I dremeled one of the plastic place-holders to fit the rocker switch and got it in the same spot as I had the actual fog switch (right by the e-brake). So now I can switch it on/off repeatedly fast and they come on each time. And it actually looks A LOT nicer than the big clunky fog button.
