Thanks again for the help and compliments:cheers:

Sharp Runner man- I really like it.

Question: Where did you get the fog light switches in the console? Did they come as part of it or did you get them seperately? Have a part number by chance?

I got them from Sparks Toyota. I bought them separately. It's much easier to buy the switch and the connector and just clip off the other end.

Switch PN: PT297-35070-AS
Connector PN: PT297-35070-SH

And for reference, here is what each wire should be hooked up to:
Pin 1 (Red w/ Blue) : Illumination Power for "Lights On" indicator light
Pin 2 (Black): Ground for Illumination circuit
Pin 3 (Green w/ purple): Switch Power (12V Supply)
Pin 4 (Red w/ green): Line Out to Relay
Pin 5 (Grey): Ground for Backlit Illumination Circuit
Pin 6 (Purple): Illumination Power for Backlight

Wow, great info and fantastic looking rig! Exactly what I want to do with my '08 when I get some extra cash flowing. Thanks for taking the time to share the details!

Kevin-

Thanks a lot for the links, part numbers, and info! I have a couple blank switches in my console and I think I'll go this route to install a switch when I add some new driving lights.

I noticed the switches are illuminated differently, is that because one of them is on and the other is off?

Actually both of them are on. When the switches come, the backlight and on indicator light are orange. I changed the backlight to white and indicator lights blue and orange to distinguish between my ATP's and Ions. I had a couple of extra blue led's lying around so i swapped it.

Gotcha, thanks again man and sharp rig!

very nicely done!

Just posting a small pic so I can get it on the main page
