Does any 1 know how to get fog lights on at the same time as parking/low/high beams?

[spiceyhotwings]

I have a 2009 Yaris RS

I can only run my OME fog lights when the low beams are on. They won't turn on in the parking light or high beam mode.

What must be done so that I can turn on the fogs in any (parking/low/high beam) mode?

With you OEM fogs, if you have the headlight stalk with the fog switch on the tip of it,
you can allow them to turn on in any headlight mode by cutting the wire in pin 4 of the headlight stalk connector (which is at the base of the stalk on the column). Cap off the harness end of the wire and tap the connector end to the wire in pin 13. This will allow them to turn on with the parking lights, low beams or high beams.

My fog light connector looks different than the one in the pic or it seems

that I can't find one that looks like that.

My connector has 2 signal and 2 fog light pins on the top row.

It has 2 parking lights and I believe 2 side marker pins on the bottom row.

It might be the same as the one in your yaris.

That's not the fog light connector that I am showing, it is the headlight stalk connector. Does you Yaris have the foglight switch on the tip of the stalk or is it a separate console mounted switch?

Where does one find this headlight stalk connector?

I might not be looking at the right spot.

My fog light on/off switch is on the signal arm just to the right of the low/high beam toggle.

All the functions seem to be on that one arm.(signals,high beam on, low beam, fog on/off switch, parking lights.)

That's the "arm" or "stalk" I am talking about. Follow it down to under the steering column cover and you will find the connector. There are three screws that you have to remove to remove the lower steering column cover. Two are under the steering wheel (rotate the steering wheel about 45 degrees in either direction and you will see them). The thirds is next to the lever for adjusting the steering wheel height.

Hey Scott,
I tried your mod for havong the fogs run independent from the other lights and it did not
work. I also noticed a similar post that says to splice the orange wire at pos 4 to the white wire at pos 13.
What gives.

You've got too many threads going now on this, but as far as the pin 13 versus others go, there are many ways to skin the cat. Jumping to 13 makes the fogs only work when the headlights are on (but with either high or low beam), whereas normal operation is only with low beams and grounding makes them work at any time, even without the headlights.
