Looking for the Toyota Fog Light install

Does anyone out there have a copy of Toyota's offical install directions for the factory fog light accessory?

I'd like to stay as true to the factory install as possible. I tried looking through tundrasolutions.com but didn't find a match...closest was the Matrix instructions... :-(

A pdf copy would be much appreciated...

I agree. I've been reading all the posts on the OEM fog lights that everyone is installing, but they are not using the factory wiring harness. I'd think they are all wired for fog lights at the factory so the dealer can add them later. We need to see the factory connect points so the installation would be a lot faster/easier plug-n-play instead of running another harness inside. Any Toyota techs out there that's done this upgrade?

BTW I am extrememly anal retentave as well, and that is why I did my install as pictured above... I wanted the wires to look as stock as possible and I ran them as I thought the factory would, well with what I had to work with...

also I removed the DRL bracket (since I disabled them a long time ago) and mounted my foglamp relay there, and used one of the dash braces for the ground.

OK, I haven't received my fogs yet, but I assume they'll be the same as everyone else's even if I didn't buy them from Jimcat (it still says OEM and got them off ebay). I had the front clip off to install a tow-plate (I'm going to tow it behind my motorhome...yes, Toyota says it's OK right in the manual (5-speed LB)) and saw a lot of wires under there not connected to anything, so I assumed the harness was there to plug into. However, everyone on here seemed to go right to running the new harness and I kept reading the posts and wondering if they were missing something. Ok, Black Yaris, you say the wiring (U.S. car) IS all there and you just plugged in, right? HOw about the switch, is there a plug-in under the console? Where did you find that junction block you plugged your wires into? Wasn't there factory plugs for everything? I'm still confused. You say you were able to do what no one else has done, but it still looks like you had to run some wires somewhere. How about a better explanation, maybe pictures?

OK RocknRoll..... That picture is taken from the the area behind the change tray that pulls out rught under the cup holder on the drivers side, the whole tray will pop out and you will see what I have pictured... now you will have the white wire and red wire as part of your fog lamp kit, but they will have the wrong plastic connectors on them, so you need to take the wire and pin out of the connectors, and place the white one where I have pictured and slide the red one into the existing connector as I have pictured..... this will make it so your lamps will only be on when your ign is on, so it will never drain your battery

Thanks Black Yaris for your help. I also found the drawings and electrical diagrams in the downloaded manuals. Luckily I know someone at work to help me through understanding them....

In one of the diagrams it shows a connector to the right of the module you have pictured. It is labeled for the foglights! Is this the ACTUAL place the Toyota lights would plug in with the right connectors? If so, is there a connector that can be beg, borrowed, or stolen to make Jimcat's unit plug right in?

(Still searching for the offical Toyota install on the Fog Lights)
This is a challenge to my fellow members...can you obtain a copy?

you will just have to buy a set of accessory Toyota fog lamps photo copy the instructions and return them the same day, and say someone already bought them for you or something
