Need some insight on installing the Esuse Fog Lamp...

Ive put the blue and green wire to the yellow and white wire....it does trigger the relay when my parking light is also on.

then the green and black to the green wire (at the AT shifter) and to the ground...

im having trouble at the A24 connector since pin 1 & 2 have already been used... i've tried the other pins and nothing seems to work...

what am I doing wrong? since my lights arent working

Is your Yaris a Japanese market or European market one? If you can PM me the VIN, I can check more of the details on how fogs would get installed on your car.

mine is from the thailand factory....asian market.....it's a vios.....thanx for the quick reply

[adeen]

pm'ed u already....thnx CTscott

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.

here's a car with fog lights in my area...the trd sportivo version....see the difference..?

so IYO, do u think my DIY can be salvaged?

heres a full picture of the fuse block for the version with fog lights

I think you will need to run the feed for the lights through the firewall.

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.

ok thx a bunch...

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.

[adeen]

ok....i'll get to it as soon as i've got time to spare....i'll update any progress...

[adeen]

i had my wire go through the firewall and connected it directly to the #3 pin of the foglight relay. works like a charm...thnx CTScott

For what it is worth, I threw together a video of my fog light install using the OEM light stalk. Hope I didn't leave anything out. It moves along rather fast at the beginning as I needed to keep it under 15 minutes for YouTube. Thanks go out as usual to CTScott for his in depth contributions on this mod as well as others he has come up with. Hope the link works.

Bairjo, you knocked it out the park, man! Fantastic job and even the music is good here!
