DIY (08' USDM Liftback): ESUSE Fog Light Install v2.0 - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

joeljcruz86 · 05-01-2010, 07:37 PM

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

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 .

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. =/

I want to install the fog lights using the parts that come with the kit!(trough the firewall)

To which wires do i connect the ACC and the Battery power wires using the splice connectors that came with the kit?

Thanks a lot, I received my kit today. I hope to install them this week.

Toyo Chris · 07-23-2010, 12:51 AM

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.

Toyo Chris · 07-23-2010, 01:46 AM

Is there any way of installing the kit without putting it to work with the stock wiring?

Toyo Chris · 08-04-2010, 03:54 PM

Ok, I finally installed them and put them to work!

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.

Yarisaur · 01-21-2011, 01:22 PM

And how would i modify the circuit?

My fog lights work perfect, but the fog indicator light on the panel is not turning on...
any ideas?

Brianr4 · 02-17-2011, 11:45 AM

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.

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.
