man i got fed up with trying to wire all that stuff so i ended up not even using a switch or relay and wiring them to the parking lights. been working fine ever since. doesnt take a load high enough to hurt anything. toyota switch was 89 and relay was 50, so i saved myself a bit of money

It wasn't difficult to install the fogs. The only part that stressed me out was when I had to pull the ends of the bumper cover outwards so I could place the fog lights into the shrouds.

After that it was as simple as plugging the fog lights into the right pin in the fusebox in the engine bay, plugging the relay in and removing the steering wheel to plug the new stalk in.

Can you expand on exactly what you mean here. I will be doing this for the first time soon and any insight would be very much appreciated. I was under the impression that installing the fogs was as easy as removing the bumper, installing the fogs and popping the covers/shrouds on last. Ofcourse, you have to hook the connectors up too but then just putting the bumper back on and the other stuff and your done. Are you saying that the lights go into the shrouds and then the shrouds go into the bumper openings? Is there a specific sequence to do this? Thanks!
