The European Yaris fog light relay is: 90080-87021
The Tyco VFM-11F41-Z16 is an aftermarket equivalent, which is less than $10 US.

So just to clarify, to jump wires that are inserted into a connector, I should pull one of the wires w/ the pin out, cut the pin off, and then t-tap it to the pin wire that is still in the connector? Another thing I can't really comprehend is, how is it that purple and green wire in Absolutely Red 12's picture pin 3 & 4, respectively, if when the connector is oriented like this: . And as for the fog light switch, can I just tap any of the two of the four switch wires to the purple or green pin wires? What do I do with the remaining two wires from the fog light switch? Fuse tap one of the wire to dash illumination, and ground the other wire? I sorry I have so many questions, and I know many may have already been answered in other threads, but thank you so much for always answering CTScott |

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.

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. |

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.

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

Cheesus, the Toyota OEM Fog light switch is $46 on Amazon . May you send me a link to a possible generic fog light switch that could work?
I meant the "pull away" part of the picture, not the panel where the switches are - the panel cover that covers all the wires behind it. |

So after looking through eBay for the Micturning Switch I posted, it states:
• Upper light is ON when the switch is pressed IN. • Lower light can be wired to separate dash light circuit. I guess it's not going to work. Will these switches be my only option? |

Thanks, I think I'll just get both switches and try them out. If they don't work I'll just tap them together with some t-taps and male connectors. Doesn't seem logical to spend 46$ on an oem switch, when the fog light kit is practically the same price.
