Fog lamps as back up low beams. - Toyota Yaris Forums

ellenbetty · 09-13-2009, 07:48 PM

I got the fog lamps to work. I had to follow directions, cut the yellow wire in the steering column, and use connectors to make a connection.

At least one of the fog lamps bulbs lit, (I did not feel like checking the other, too tired), and the dash light for fog lamps on lit up. But I do have a problem. The switch to the fog lamps remains lit even if the key is out of the switch to the ignition. Makes me nervous.

Does any one have a idea of how long will it take for that light in the switch to drain my battery so much that I will not be able to start my Yaris?

Since I do not wish to find out the hard way what impact that light in the switch has on my battery, I unplugged the switch.
