Been around here for a while and figured I should post my 4Runner's progress

November 2007


Current

Front - Icon 2.5 Remote Resi C/O
Rear - Icon Coils/Icon Rear
Spidertrax 1.25" spacer

Lights:
(2) Piaa 520 ATP
(2) Piaa 520 Ion
(4) Lightforce 140
5000k HID Lows
3000k/5000k HID Fogs

Electronics:
Kenwood DNX8120
Kenwood Backup camera
Hella Supertones
Blue Sea Fuse Blocks (12 fuse - Engine, 6 fuse - Rear)

Performance:

Interior:
Full white LED swap (Cluster/HVAC/Steering Wheel)
Limited Center console

Due to a slow start for the snowboard season I swapped my interior lights (I know the concerns with white, but my eyes don't feel fatigued after hours of driving at night)



Next came the new tires, toytec 1" front spacer, Spidertrax spacers, defiant light bar, Piaas, limited center console with FJ cruiser fog lights

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

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.
