OK after remembering to search for the spray that Yaris TTE JWRC posted .. here is what I finally found ...

Did you pay that much for this bro?

Finally put on the fogs and the painted oem mudguards. Here's pics:

No DIY, I just followed the install instructions by the first poster. Difference in mine is I hooked up 12v switched wire to the park lights. That way park lights on (or headlights on), I can switch on/off fogs. If park lights off (or headlights off), fogs are also off. I also put the switch near the side mirror controls. That way all the light switches are within reach of my right hand.

Looks good. Quick question? How did you get the wiring from the engine compartment into the cabin? Did you enter trough the firewall? Did you add additional length to the original wiring? Thanks.

I used the hole that is used by the tube that leads the water out of the aircondtioning system. This hole leads to the engine bay. I cut a small piece out of the rubber to allow the wires through. I placed the wires above the tube so that the water won't drip into the wires. Bear in mind, RHD setup is quite different from LHD so the hole I'm talking about might be in a different place for LHD versions.

Yes. The original wiring was insufficient to set up properly. You'd probably need about several meters of wire:

- about 1.5 meters for the thick black 12v wire connecting to the + battery terminal
- about 2 meters for the thick red 12v wire connecting to the fog lights
- about 2 meters for the thick red switched 12v wire (I used the same thick red ones but you can use thinner ones) to reach the park light wires near the headlight assembly.
- about 1 meter of the ribbed tube to cover the wires.

Instead of splicing wires, I used connectors and a crimper to make it safe and secure.

Welcome,

so happy to see the result

LoK. · 02-28-2007, 08:09 PM

as400g33k, where did you source the +12V parker light wire? Behind the steering column, behind the glovebox, or behind the headlight itself?

Do your fog lights work in all headlight switch positions (i.e. parkers, low beam, high beam)?

Yes on all.

Cheers

thanx jimcat, they seem to look great. but, no instructions.... can someone please post up some info on hot to get them in the bumper. my friend will wire them up, but I like doing some things myself. remember, I am a girl

I looked under the bumper, do you remove the center section, or what... any help would be appreciated... I think I may also look into the grounding thing! is it a big help??

Look at the first post in this thread. Installing the lights and the trim pieces in the bumper is the easiest part (I did have to remove both front wheels one at a time to get to the space however)...

Talking tiksman into doing my wiring is the hard part!!!

That should be the easy part

QUESTION:
I have mine installed this way:

I purchased the base for the bulbs but when i removed the bumper i found that the factory harness and plug was already there, followed the cable inside the dash and removed from the plug, connected that cable to a relay and from the relay to a fuse and that to a live line to the battery. The relay is powered by the key switched line and then to a switch. Problem is that the line marked in red in the diagram gets hot. Is this normal or what should i do to prevent this???
