I did a search on here and Yota Tech aboutthe 3rd Gen fog light mod. I recently bought the kit from PP for my 2000 SR5. I want the fogs to work with Low Beam and High Beam. From reading the following about the Mod
Update for 2001-2002 4Runners:

"After doing your mod, owners of the 2001-02 model year trucks need to locate the green and black wire in pin #16 of the connector to the DRL relay, relay D8. It's located just to the right of the steering column, down near the driver's right shin. This wire needs to be cut a couple of inches away from the connector, extended and grounded to a convenient point. I use the lower bolt of the driver's side fuse box as an easy-to-reach ground. Tape off the piece toward the connector and you're all done. It's easy enough to do without diagrams as long as continuity is checked between pin 16, in the D8 connector, and the number 2 coil connector in the fog lamp relay socket, with the fog switch on. Turning it on and off will drop continuity, proving you have the right wire."

"The pin # you reference for the D8 connector from the DRL relay is different. It is pin #14 not #16. The color is still Green with a Black Stripe. Besides that the mod worked great. I checked continuity between pin #14 and the #2 coil connector in the foglight relay before completing the mod. I also decided to install a switch in my DRL's. It was pin #2 in the D8 connector, Black with a Yellow stripe."
Will this effect my DRL or does it only allow my Fogs to work with my High Beams? I do not want to disble the DRL's. If anyone can be precise about this or has done this on a 2000 SR5 any help would be appreciated. The light kit I ordered is the OEM Hella kit from PPUpdate for 2001-2002 4Runners:
