First of all, I’d like to thank PK198105 for pointing me to Clowncar’s original post outlining this method of installation. It is far easier that the former method of running a wire through the firewall. In addition to the aftermarket fog light kit, you will need butt splice connectors, wire tap connectors, and the Toyota Denso fog light relay (Part# 90080-87026). The relay is very pricy from the dealer. I found one on ebay for $13 USD shipped. I have no way of knowing if this method will work on all models/years/geos of yari/vitz. If it doesn’t, see my other DIY.

If corrections need to be made to this guide, I will do so in my spare time. Feel free to PM me with suggestions/corrections/questions.

Note: While the stock Toyota instructions or not completely accurate for all generic installations, it was very helpful much of the wiring locations and bumper removal. Please use it as a reference.

The Toyota Guide

This is the box that arrived from an EBay seller in California. It's a respectable Taiwanese brand with a great OEM fit.

Remove the front bumper by following the Toyota factory instructions:
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2558/pict1405xc7.jpg

Layout the fog light harness:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2615/pict1404rw5.jpg

Remove the factory inserts:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/4007/pict1406gh0.jpg

My bumper had some paint over spray that I had to peel off:
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9115/pict1413xw5.jpg

Slide the fog light assembly into the bumper slots:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/701/pict1409iy6.jpg

Use the included screws to secure the other side of the assembly:
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1387/pict1410jw3.jpg

Plug in the passenger's side fog light:
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/863/pict1416vq7.jpg

Route the harness along the front bumper zip tying it to the factory harness along the way:
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4308/pict1417dy0.jpg

Secure the harness to the factory harness and plug in the driver's side fog light:
http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/7721/pict1418lb8.jpg

With a 10mm wrench, loosen the grounding bolt on the driver's side near the head light:
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1324/pict1420tq4.jpg

Attach the fog harness ground wire to the frame and retighten:
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9800/pict1421bv0.jpg

Just behind the driver’s side headlight, remove the cover to the fuse box. Route the harness from the bottom up alongside the stock harness:
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7276/pict1602ek7.jpg

Once the harness pokes through, pull all of the slack up. Don’t worry we are going to trim it to size:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9773/pict1583ks2.jpg

The switch harness needs to be modified to function with the stock wiring. For the next step we have to cut out the red wire from relay connector. Clip the red wire close connector and pull it out:
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/107/pict1448op8.jpg
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7061/pict1446pp1.jpg

I don’t know the “right” way to remove the white plastic connector. I just use a pair of diagonal cutters to snip off pieces until it fell off. When everything is said and done it should look like this:
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5338/pict1600ww7.jpg

Cut off the slack from the harness and use a butt splice to attach the new connector. Slide the metal end into either pin1 or pin2 of the connector shown below:
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/1027/pict1601lo0.jpg

Put the cover back on the fuse box and reattach the front bumper:
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/7962/pict1426df8.jpg

OEM fit, gotta love it:
http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/5435/pict1427ui4.jpg

Pull down the hinged panel directly below the steering coulomb:
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1311/pict1488sj4.jpg

Remove the 2 screws that hold the panel on:
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1103/pict1487gb4.jpg

Remove the 2 screws that hold the kick plate:
http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9392/pict1486gb5.jpg

Remove the screw near the steering wheel tilt lock lever:
[Picture Not Uploaded]

With the car turned on (power steering make this much easier) turn the wheel to the left and remove the screw:
[Picture Not Uploaded]

Now turn the wheel to the right remove the other screw:
[Picture Not Uploaded]

Turn off the car and pull the lower steering coulomb cover off:
[Picture Not Uploaded]

You will find the “D4” connector on the bottom left of the steering coulomb:
http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/1075/pict1585sw9.jpg

Pull the change cup out by pushing on the side. This will expose the fuse box:
http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/2014/pict1490hj3.jpg

Pull up the driver's side door rail and kick panel:
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/9256/pict1489ho0.jpg

Unscrew the shift knob:
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/7131/pict1473mv5.jpg

Pull up the parking brake and lift out the center switch plate. Push out the upper left blank:
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/1236/pict1468yx6.jpg

Insert the new fog light switch and set the plate aside for later:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3599/pict1469hv6.jpg

Use a 10mm socket to remove the bolt in the cup holder in the center console:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2841/pict1465em6.jpg

Lifting from the back of the console, remove the center console assembly exposing the factory harnesses underneath:
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9861/pict1464eo7.jpg

Now we must finish modifying the aftermarket harness. Cut the 2 black and 1 solid blue wire as well. The blue/green wire will not be used. Remove the electrical tape holding the end of the harness together. Once everything is pulled apart you should have black, solid blue and solid green wires left in the harness. Use a butt splice to reconnect the 2 black wires. (sorry I forgot to take pictures of the final modified harness):
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/107/pict1448op8.jpg

On the switch side, pull down the harness cover to expose the internal splice of the 2 green wires. Cut the green wire closest to the black wire. You may need to elongate this wire with some scrap wire so it can reach it’s connecting point:
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/9983/pict1451mb3.jpg

It should look something like this (except the black wire should still be in the harness):
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/4859/pict1591ag8.jpg

Route the harness alongside the shifter:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7677/pict1458ab6.jpg

Under the carpet and up the dash on the driver’s side.
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7379/pict1457og0.jpg

Along the stock steering wheel harness up to the “D4” connector:
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/794/pict1598un0.jpg

Connect the blue and green wires to pin3 (yellow) and pin4 (white) of the “D4” connector:
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/4228/pict1597ax9.jpg

Run the remaining black wire to the left most wall and down to the kick panel. I coiled the slack and strapped it to the ODBII port harness in front of the fuse box.
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7434/pict1607mz0.jpg

Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the grounding bolt and attach the black ground connector:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5157/pict1452ez4.jpg

Install the relay in the empty socket to the right of the fuse box:
[Picture Not Uploaded]

Disconnect the green/white cable from the automatic shifter assembly:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6102/pict1450ra1.jpg

Attach the green wire (closest to the black wire) that we cut out earlier from the fog switch harness to the green wire in the factory harness:
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9982/pict1611xb0.jpg

That’s it! Now that our wiring is done we can test your new fog lights for proper operation and reinstall all of the interior panels. After reassembling the center console, plug all of the harnesses back in:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7927/pict1472cm3.jpg

Push the switch plate back into the center console to complete the job:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4424/pict1477dz6.jpg
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2470/pict1424yu6.jpg

We now have fully functional OEM fit fog lights:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a shortened converation later in the post regarding a fog light OEM switch LED issue that was discovered.

I found a problem. I don’t know how I missed it. Basically, the aftermarket switch that came with my ESUSE kit has 2 internal LEDs. One for the backlight (fog light symbol) and one for the switch on an off indicator (square light). The problem is the square light stays on all the time, even when the car is off. It looks like I need to modify the switch internals for it to function properly. Any Ideas?

I wired my lights using this image as a reference, and the switch turns off when the car is off. Hope this helps!

If I install the fogs and the front harness up to the junction box inside the engine compartment, then plug in a relay in its socket to the right of the inside fuse panel and exchange the light stalk with one with the fog switch, is that all I need to do?

chesterchester

10-23-2008, 02:17 PM

Removing the steering wheel went easier than I thought. The new light stalk with fog switch works like a charm! Added the variable speed wiper stalk too. "Violins" step by step steering wheel removal guide was a huge help too!

Just curious, I got this fog light installed and wanted to double confirm... the bulb size is H11 right? As shown in the pics posted above? I don't want to take all the trouble to get my bumpers off just to see what bulb size it is... (as I wanted to upgrade it to HID xenon) Cheers.

does my car need "power option" to make fog light work? in my car, there is no middle panel. No power locks and aux button

1NZYaris1

02-04-2009, 02:29 AM

So I installed a set of fogs from kargoboy that I got from Long. I'm having trouble wiring up the switch for proper illumination. My understanding is that the fog lamp image on the switch should only light up when headlights/DRLs are turned on, and the LED should light up when the switch is pressed down. From the switch I have 2 pink wires that go into one, and a blue wire with a red stripe. There is also a ground. What do I do with the pink wire and blue/red wire? I also used the method of using the OEM toyota relay. Thanks!

Okay
The pink wire is power in ie take power from your park lights ,
there is 2 leds in the switch one will come on as soon as it gets power
the other lights as well when fogs are turned on .

The blue/red wire is power out signal

The black is earth

You can PM me your email i will send you the factory instructions
or you can spend another $70.-$80US and buy the factory Stalk with fog light
switch on it which will then take all this wiring away.
hope this helps

Creeper

05-12-2009, 03:27 PM

ok i have a new problem. I have just installed my lights. switch works perfect, i can hear the relay clicking when turning the switch but it seems that no power is getting to the lights. I got the kit from yaris universe and it only had 2 wires on the fog side. 1 is going to ground and the other is connected to pin 1. i have the switch wired up like tk's picture. any ideas what im doing wrong? do i still have to put wires up to the stearing column even if they are wired like tk's? or am i just missing a wire on the fog side?

Creeper

05-12-2009, 03:32 PM

05-12-2009, 03:57 PM

Ill try and clarify alittle more. Fogs are going to ground and pin 1. switch is wired up just like tk's picture with ground going to ground spot on kicker panel. it is a base 2007 (maybe the problem?) the switch lights up and turns off like its supposed to. relay clicks. but the fogs dont light up. also i had to cut the connector on the wire to pin 1. as it was the wrong ytype of connector. would the fact that the wire is kinda pushed in there effect it? im gonna try and get the right end peice before i head to work.

Make sure you have a good connection on Pin 1 before trying to turn the fogs on, as they draw a decent amount of current.

TK's picture is just showing the connection for the switch lighting wires. You still have to make the connections to the headlight stalk connector.

Creeper

05-12-2009, 04:52 PM

ok so i have to make the stalk connections even if i dont want the dash to light up with the symbols? what wires do i use for thouse i only have the ground pink and white on the switches and they go to the relay i don hae he 2 wires like the one in this kit. also would it be easier to just run he fogs through and connect them through the switch? im just at a loss seems like everyone has more wires on their kits then i do

CTScott

05-12-2009, 05:01 PM

If you came through the firewall via the existing wiring (that goes from pin 1 to the relay slot in the interior fuse panel) then you have to make the connection at the stalk connector. Did you add the Toyota relay to the inside panel, or are you trying to use the relay that came with your kit?

There are two primary ways of wiring the aftermarket fogs:

1. Use the existing wiring to come through the firewall, and add the Toyota relay. With the aftermarket kits, this requires modifying their harness and eliminating the included relay.

2. Come through the firewall with the aftermarket harness and connect switch per aftermarket directions, using included relay.

Creeper

05-12-2009, 06:39 PM

ok so to use the kit relay i need to run the wire from the lights to the relay right?

CTScott

05-12-2009, 09:00 PM

ok so to use the kit relay i need to run the wire from the lights to the relay right?

Yes. Also, with the kit relay you will need to supply a power circuit. The aftermarket kit, I saw instructions for, required you to come directly off the positive battery terminal with to a fuse, then to the fog kit. That's what makes connecting via the OEM wiring much cleaner.

You can pick up a used Toyota relay off ebay for just over $10, including shipping:

07-06-2009, 08:30 PM

This is how I interpret the way the modified install kit works. Please tell me if I got it right:

1) I install the Toyota factory Fog Light relay in the D46 slot on the top right of the Relay block, and a 15 amp fuse in position 12.

2) I disassemble the wiring harness and wire one side of the switch to D4 pin 3 (Yellow wire into the Headlight switch connector)

3) I wire the other side of the switch to D4 pin 4 (Orange wire). This takes the place of the fancy headlight switch and grounds the coil side of the relay through the dimmer switch.

4) I wire the illumination from the switch to the green wire in the console (Instrument lights).

5) I attach the hot wire from the fog lights to either pin 1 or 2 of B13 in the engine room fuse box.

6) I connect the ground wires from the switch harness and the Foglight harness to ground.

6) Did I miss anything?

07-06-2009, 11:40 PM

That's correct and all of it.

I installed a set on my 09 as above, except I didn't like the included switch or the console location for it, so I installed an LED lighted rocker switch next to the dimmer rheostat. I grabbed the illumination feed right off of the rheostat output (Brown wire in Pin 5 is +, Green wire in pin 2 is -).

Thanks for the feedback. I ordered a relay and 09 bezels. (I hand carved the old ones but am not happy with the results. It isn't easy to carve a good elipse.) I will let you know how it comes out.

Does anyone have the manufacturer and part number for a new switch. The one that came with my kit works but only has one bulb and does not illuminate when not turned on.

Are you sure that it only has one indicator (that is, did you pop it open and only see one bulb)? The reason I ask is that depending on how you wire the switch, can determine if both lights work/work correctly.

Yes, I opened the switch and only one bulb is there.

OK. I am not sure about part numbers for aftermarket fog light switches, but you may have to make some wiring changes to support a two light switch. When I installed my MicroImage fogs, I used the OEM wiring method and then installed my own lighted switch:

Hey Goku87, I bought the same kit that you did. Only one problem, the Fog Light doesn't light up in my guage cluster. Everything works except the Fog lights will only work if the head lights are on. The way I have it hooked up basically i have the red wire from the fog light harness connected to the red wire from the switch harness. Then I have the green wire from the switch itself tapped into the factory wire harness by the shifter like you did. Then I have the last remaining wire which is the blue/yellowish wire from the relay tapped into the cigarette lighter. Now the "pin connector" plug under my steering wheel is a little different. The Yellow wire is yellow, but the white wire in your picture, it is brown for mine. I don't have any wires tapped into those. So can you or anybody help me to get the Fog Light to light up in my guage cluster??

PS. I drive a 2009 Liftback 3DR

1NZYaris1

05-01-2010, 09:48 PM

you cant tap into the cluster , if you are not running a relay in the
factory relay postion , or running the fog lights through the factory wiring that
is installed in all Yaris's .:thumbsup:

joeljcruz86

05-03-2010, 01:24 AM

oh, hmm =/. Well my friend helped me about having the green wire tapped into the factory pin leading to the fog light Light in the guage cluster and it works.. What's the bad thing about that? i mean everything works and i do have the "kit relay" still part of the whole thing. The only disadvantage he told me is that when i switch the high's on, it doesn't disable it and he said that won't pass inspection. =/

How can I install the foglights without the factory way. I mean, how can I install them in a way I can turn them on without turning the Headlights on, just turning it on with the switch that comes with the kit and the relay, etc.

To make the light stay off you have to modify the circuit within the switch. If the switch has LEDs for the lights then there won't be an issue with battery drain.

I have mine working now, first switch went bad.
Still wondering though if I get a factory stalk with foglight option, how will the fogs operate? Only with the headlights on?
The way they work now I can turn them on anytime, with the car running or not.

If you switch to an OEM stalk they will just work with the low beams on, unless you cut the wire going to pin 4 of the stalk and tie the stalk end of it to ground (which will allow you to turn the fogs on at any time).

Mine working fine and I hook the relay trigger to my low beam(LH) pin8 on D4. My fog light can only be turned on if I turn on the head light, which is what I want. The problem now is if I switch to high beam the fog light wont work. Is there any signal I can tap dimmer light? From the manual it stated pin9 but high beam also share same pin9.

http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo163/ctscott329/Misc%20Yaris/D4-Wires.jpg

If you hook it to pin 13 they will turn on with the lows and highs, and will still turn off when the headlight switch is off.

02-21-2011, 09:36 AM

Thanks for the tips CTScott. I think I have tried all the pins and it didn't worked. I will try again this weekend.

If you hook it to pin 13 they will turn on with the lows and highs, and will still turn off when the headlight switch is off.

Seems like the wires position in reverse order. I tried to hook to last pin from right and it didn't work also. Forgot to mention, mine is sedan, J model and from Malaysia.

What year is your car? With the lack of the two wires on the top of the connector, it looks like yours was not factory wired for front fog lights.

OK. I don't have wiring diagrams for your area, so what I would do is to measure the voltage on each pin to ground with the headlight switch off and then with it in the parking light mode (one click). You are looking for a wire that measures 12V with the headlight switch off and then goes to 0V with it one click on.

I've had my lights setup for almost 3 years and it's been real good to me thus far. I used the "Clowncar" method that works like a charm using my $14 OEM Toyota relay from Ebay.
I too could'nt get the lighted push button switch to work on my car, so I bought a simple black toggle switch from PepBoys
Also, the bulbs that come with these kits can be garbage, the gaskets on mine would'nt even allow the bulbs to fit snugly. I bought German OSRAM brand and the've lasted thus far without replacing them. Fit tight too!

I'm putting in a set of fogs and have the wires run the factory way thru the firewall, I have a 5 speed sedan and wonder where I can connect the wire to illuminate the switch?
This is the green wire from the switch next to the black wire correct?
EDIT: The green and white wire [for the automatics] that you tap into for the switch illumination is still wired for the 5spd!

The blue wire from the switch goes to pin 3 correct?

The last green wire from the switch goes to pin 4 or pin 13 if you want to use fogs with high beams and park lights correct?

Black is ground

-----------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I’d like to thank PK198105 for pointing me to Clowncar’s original post outlining this method of installation. It is far easier that the former method of running a wire through the firewall. In addition to the aftermarket fog light kit, you will need butt splice connectors, wire tap connectors, and the Toyota Denso fog light relay (Part# 90080-87026). The relay is very pricy from the dealer. I found one on ebay for $13 USD shipped. I have no way of knowing if this method will work on all models/years/geos of yari/vitz. If it doesn’t, see my other DIY.

Disclaimer: I'm not an electrician or an authorized Toyota installer. This is what worked for me. I am in no way responsible for you breaking, burning or otherwise destroying your car. If corrections need to be made to this guide, I will do so in my spare time. Feel free to PM me with suggestions/corrections/questions.

Note: While the stock Toyota instructions or not completely accurate for all generic installations, it was very helpful much of the wiring locations and bumper removal. Please use it as a reference.

Slide the fog light assembly into the bumper slots:

Use the included screws to secure the other side of the assembly:

Route the harness along the front bumper zip tying it to the factory harness along the way:

With a 10mm wrench, loosen the grounding bolt on the driver's side near the head light:
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1324/pict1420tq4.jpg

Attach the fog harness ground wire to the frame and retighten:
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9800/pict1421bv0.jpg

Just behind the driver’s side headlight, remove the cover to the fuse box. Route the harness from the bottom up alongside the stock harness:
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7276/pict1602ek7.jpg

Once the harness pokes through, pull all of the slack up. Don’t worry we are going to trim it to size:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9773/pict1583ks2.jpg

The switch harness needs to be modified to function with the stock wiring. For the next step we have to cut out the red wire from relay connector. Clip the red wire close connector and pull it out:
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/107/pict1448op8.jpg
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7061/pict1446pp1.jpg

I don’t know the “right” way to remove the white plastic connector. I just use a pair of diagonal cutters to snip off pieces until it fell off. When everything is said and done it should look like this:
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5338/pict1600ww7.jpg

Cut off the slack from the harness and use a butt splice to attach the new connector. Slide the metal end into either pin1 or pin2 of the connector shown below:
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/1027/pict1601lo0.jpg

Put the cover back on the fuse box and reattach the front bumper:

Pull up the parking brake and lift out the center switch plate. Push out the upper left blank:
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/1236/pict1468yx6.jpg

Insert the new fog light switch and set the plate aside for later:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3599/pict1469hv6.jpg

Use a 10mm socket to remove the bolt in the cup holder in the center console:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2841/pict1465em6.jpg

Lifting from the back of the console, remove the center console assembly exposing the factory harnesses underneath:
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9861/pict1464eo7.jpg

Now we must finish modifying the aftermarket harness. Cut the 2 black and 1 solid blue wire as well. The blue/green wire will not be used. Remove the electrical tape holding the end of the harness together. Once everything is pulled apart you should have black, solid blue and solid green wires left in the harness. Use a butt splice to reconnect the 2 black wires. (sorry I forgot to take pictures of the final modified harness):
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/107/pict1448op8.jpg

On the switch side, pull down the harness cover to expose the internal splice of the 2 green wires. Cut the green wire closest to the black wire. You may need to elongate this wire with some scrap wire so it can reach it’s connecting point:
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/9983/pict1451mb3.jpg

It should look something like this (except the black wire should still be in the harness):
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/4859/pict1591ag8.jpg

Route the harness alongside the shifter:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7677/pict1458ab6.jpg

Under the carpet and up the dash on the driver’s side.

Along the stock steering wheel harness up to the “D4” connector:
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/794/pict1598un0.jpg

Connect the blue and green wires to pin3 (yellow) and pin4 (white) of the “D4” connector:
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/4228/pict1597ax9.jpg

Run the remaining black wire to the left most wall and down to the kick panel. I coiled the slack and strapped it to the ODBII port harness in front of the fuse box.
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7434/pict1607mz0.jpg

Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the grounding bolt and attach the black ground connector:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5157/pict1452ez4.jpg

Install the relay in the empty socket to the right of the fuse box:
[Picture Not Uploaded]

Disconnect the green/white cable from the automatic shifter assembly:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6102/pict1450ra1.jpg

Attach the green wire (closest to the black wire) that we cut out earlier from the fog switch harness to the green wire in the factory harness:
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9982/pict1611xb0.jpg

That’s it! Now that our wiring is done we can test your new fog lights for proper operation and reinstall all of the interior panels. After reassembling the center console, plug all of the harnesses back in:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7927/pict1472cm3.jpg

Push the switch plate back into the center console to complete the job:

Make sure you have a good connection on Pin 1 before trying to turn the fogs on, as they draw a decent amount of current.

TK's picture is just showing the connection for the switch lighting wires. You still have to make the connections to the headlight stalk connector.

Scott,

I got my headlight/foglight kit from Ebay installed everything (including the relay) but the switch that came with the foglight kit was unbelievably low quality. I bought another switch off of ebay and still waiting for it. Anyways, When i opened the D4 connector on the headlight stalk, the yellow wire that we are supposed to cut-off and connect two wires from the switch does not lead to anything apart from supply ground to the relay right? I dont know why we split that wire and connect the other wires from the switch to the D4 yellow wire that is open on the stalk side.

Can you please draw a diagram as how the switch (with led light) works related to the yellow wire (no 3 i assume?). All i know it that the switch bridges the ground to the relay.

Thanks!:thumbsup:

Pin 3 and 4 go to nothing on the stalk (i.e. no pin on the stalk side). If you had an OEM stalk with the fog switch on it then it would those two pins and the fog switch would simply bridge them. Pin 3 goes to the negative side of the fog light relay and pin 4 is a headlight low beam switched ground.

Hopefully the ebay switch that you purchased is a four pin, not three pin illuminated switch, since the switching and illumination need to be separated.

This is what I got from Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300543160466&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

It is four pin (I hope it is the right kind) . so from what I understand is that we switch pin #3 to the ground (which powers the foglights) and pin #4 powers the LED white they have a common ground?

Thanks!

No. Jumping 3 to 4 turns the fog lights on.

The LED needs to be connected to the illumination circuit. If you connect it to the fog light switching circuit, the LED will remain on all the time (even when the ignition is off). If you look at the attached document, which I recently put together for the MI fog light kit, it shows where to connect the LED to the connector for the lighting for the AT shift lever (the feed is present on both AT and MT cars). The green wire is + and the white is -. By using this feed for the LED, it will only light when the headlight switch is on and will dim with the other interior lights when you adjust the dimmer rheostat.

Thanks! now that makes sense, I don't know why those manuals from after market foglights call for splitting pin#3 and switching the two pieces while the other end is open?.
Can i get the illumination power from under the dash? as I am planing on installing the switch where you have installed yours. :thumbsup:

OK - Got your VIN. Your car is considered a "General" area car.

From what I see there should be another connector next to the one with the green wires that is a two row connector with 12 pins. That connector would be the one where pin 1 and 2 are the fog light pins. It may be a case where the cars which come with fog lights have that connector in the harness and those that don't do not.

behind the relay in the cabin theres one yellow wire, two purple wires separately and two red wires in one socket...if i locate the red wire and connect the red wire from the fog light, would that suffice? i just want the fog light indicator to light up as it should

Using that red wire would be fine.

I actually recommend following the DIY in the link below, which I created for Micro Image instead, as the one in this thread leaves the switching and illumination circuits bridged, which results in the light on the switch being illuminated, even when the car is off.

CTScott...what does pin 1 / pin 2 at the A24 Connector actually do? Does it trigger 12V when the fog light is on ?

On the US market Yaris Pin 1 and 2 get fed 12V by the foglight relay when the switch is on.

On your car, that connector has a different designation than A24. I was thinking it was the same as the Japanese market Yaris, but seeing the three red wires in the position they are in, I now think your wiring is different than US and different than Japanese. I think you should measure the voltage on the pins the the locations of the 3 red wires with the fog light relay triggered on your car. I think you will find that either two of them (the two wires for the two front fog lights) or all three (which would also include the third wire for the rear fog light) will have 12 v on them.

i've measured the green wires on the connector which gave out 0.04v when the headlights were turned on and 0v when it was off....
i've also measured the voltage on the three pins where the red wires are, and unfortunately no voltage on them...
seems like i need to work harder to get the fogs to light up....thnx for the input CTScott..
ill try opening up the fuse block and c what's underneath...

OK. I would start from the other end (the wires leaving the fog light relay socket). The reds probably dead end at one of the junction connectors under the top of the dash.

$91 is about the cheapest I have seen the OEM stalk go for. On all of mine, I used an illuminated switch that I mounted to the dash. It is the same one as well that is included in the Micro Image kit. If you want to save some money, I can ship you one for $10.

Also, can you tell me how I'd get it to light up? My current switch is between the seats but I can't figure out how the heck to get the light to work. The best I got was the light being constantly on ...

The problem with the one that comes with the aftermarket kits is that the switching and illumination are tied together. To use the switch with the OEM wiring you have to separate the two by snipping one of the resistors off the circuit board within the switch.

The one that I use has separate wiring for switching and illumination, so you will have to connect 4 wires to hook it up. Two go to two wires on the headlight switch connector and the other two to two wires on the connector for the dimmer rheostat.

Well I was trying to upload photo copies of the directions out of the Toyota shop manual on how to properly adjust the fog lights but failed due to a "missing security token" whatever that means. Anyhow, I have not seen anything on the topic of adjustment. I'm having a little difficulty dialing one in to the proper height. Anyone care to share how you did your fog light adjustment and how did it go? By the way, my light stalk was $87 + 10 shipping. That arrangement CTScott has looks real slick....much better than the switch between the seats set-up. I had my switch between the seats on my 08 and really didn't care for it.

With the foglights that have the adjustment mechanism that points down towards the ground, you stick a phillips screwdriver up in there and tighten to raise, and loosen to lower. I cranked mine way down to where the light patten starts right where I can see past the hood.

Thank you. That sounds a heck of a lot easier than how Toyota spells it out. I have measured out lines taped on the wall trying to hit the mark...I'll go with the CTScott plan!

bairjo - nice job on the video! :clap:

I shouldn't admit this, but I installed my foglights when I replaced the horn
with one of those premium horn kits. I never ran the wires. Been too busy
or lazy to finish the job. I'd really like to have a stalk like that, but too
chicken to mess with airbag stuff, though you make it look easy. That would
probably take me all day to do, and would have to borrow some tools.
However, maybe when it's warmer, I'll get motivated. BTW, I got the
Micro Image kit...yikes, that was a few years ago now that I think of it.
Where does the time go?

Thanks again for the video and to :bow: CTScott for all his expertise on the Yaris!

ok now mi problem is that I have the same kit, but I have a yaris 2013 and I don't want to cut any cable because the warranty, what can I do, don't know anything where to plug the wires o the 15 fuse go please help

bairjo

Regarding cutting cables and warranty. Go ahead and cut...I asked the dealer about this when I had my 08...they said it will not void anything unless what you do damages something. For example, if you took your car to a pro to have a remote start installed....snip snip. No issues with the warranty. Just be sure you do your homework and follow the advise of the folks on here that tell you how to do it right. You will be fine...

I own a Yaris, (Thailand / General Area) year 2011 model and i've installed an aftermarket fog lamp. Does anyone here knows how to get the fog lamp indicator turned on the dashboard without replacing the OEM stalk. I'm too chicken out to remove the airbag and the oem stalk as it involves removal of the steering clock spring. Does anyone here knows which wire harness or pin to tap into for supplying the 12vdc power to light up the dash fog lamp indicator? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

it should be pins 3 and 4 for the stalk connector under the steering column cover, but if you choose the route of tapping into the cluster (as ours here who don't have the stalk switch also don't have wires 3 and 4 under the stalk connector) you should be able to supply 12V on Pin 7 of the 16-pin connector (the shorter one and the one near the driver).

You can read more here:

If nothing works, you might want to check if there's an LED behind the fog indicator on the cluster by gently lifting that black plastic part (where the speedometer/tach is printed on)

This is what you do if you're not installing the factory fog lamp stalk....
You can use aftermarket switch without cutting the wire harness apart by just tapping the 12vdc power source from the aftermarket switch to fire up the indicator at the dashboard. Just connect it to the hole of the relay show in green using a spade connector. Hope this works for all of you out there.

When I was trying to install my fog lights on my 2007 hatch a long time ago, I remember CTScott saying something like how installing them this way was a bad idea because it could screw with the fuel pump or something like that. Has anyone run into any trouble?

I did get my lights working by going through the firewall, which was a pain, and connecting by this method, without connecting to the outside fuse. Something happened and then they did not work anymore and I really didn't have time to try to fix it until now.

I'm looking to start fresh and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good kit that is pretty easy to install. I don't plan on installing the stock. I also have a denso relay from my first attempt.

Honestly, one of the best kits would be the micro-image one. It's a shame the're they've closed shop. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one for my '09.
That kit had you plugging the fog lights into a connector in the engine bay fuse box, rather than running a separate wire through the firewall.
Not only that, but it would also illuminate the indicator light in the instrument cluster.

The Micro Image kit was a custom kit of their own.

Hi! What is the big blue wire in the picture use for? I have recently bought an aftermarket fog light for my 2011 vios/yaris, and the technician tapped the wire of the relay of foglight to this big blue wire. It's been a week since my foglights were installed and they are working great. I just wanted to know ( peace of mind also :smile:) that the connections of my fog lights were right.

TIA
