can i / where to get factory switch for aftermarket fog lights? and exhaust tip q.
I found my Yaris S, but not exactly to my liking, so I have to add fog lights aftermarket, and a stainless steel exhaust tip. Ouestions: is it possible and where can I get a factory switch for aftermarket fog lights? I want it to 'match' my car, otherwise I feel it looks tacky. If possible, is the factory switch gonna work with my aftermarket fog lights, or do I have to buy toyota fog lights to work with the switch (which I don't think you can just 'buy').
Next... for the exhaust tip, do I just buy the tip and go to my local muffler shop to get it welded or what? Thx |

You can try to adapt something from another toyota vehicle.. but i'm pretty sure most fog light controls are included on the regular lighting stem

I don't know about the switch, but you can get an exhaust tip from this board sponsor: http://www.trdsparks.com/
It doesn't need to be welded, you just tighten one bolt. Here's how it looks on my liftback: |

It couldn't be much easier to install.

To each his own. It's part of the styling package "D" for the Japanese Vitz. I like it.

Hi with most exhaust tips...u DO NOT weld it on.....it simply has 3 - 4 screws. You just need a screw driver, attach the exhaust tip and screw it tight!! (dont think dirty now :P) I baught an oval exhaust tip.....ill post pics when it arrives... |

The tip from Toyota just has a pipe clamp built into it. Tighten one bolt and you're done.

Search, and you will find a thread where it happened to a few members, and Ken had one sent out ASAP, and the wrong one shipped back... Fear not, Ken will correct the problem. |
