Fog Lights?

[20034RunnerV84x2]

Wassup guys, I have a 2003 4Runner SR5 w/o fog lights from the factory. I really want fog lights. I can buy the off ebay (factory re placement). Not here comes the question(s)
1) DO they bolt on? I was looking at the bumper and it looks like the plastic is molded on.
2) I see a connector, but does it work when I turn on the low beams? The wores go up to the low/ high beam and keeps going from there so they turn on. So when I connect them, when I turn the band on the turn signal stock will the low beams and high beams turn on? I'll post pics later by what I'm talking about, It's 2:04 AM and completely dark out side and my phone doesn't have flash (iPhone 3GS)

they screw in and clip to the daytime running light/turn signal. If you can get under there with a flashlight you will see both are covered with a single cover. you remove the cover and then you can take off each individually. i just replaced a turn signal bulb today so i got a pretty good look. i have the new turn signal housing sitting that i haven't got around to putting in yet and new fog light housing on the way.

I'll get some pics later, it doesn't have DRL.

DRL doesn't matter. It's the same location/bulb as your turn signal.

I know, do you know what the bulb size is? I know the headlights are 9006 but not sure about the fogs. :thanks:

 

[acer0611]

they are definately 9006

Arent the stock fog light bolbs the EXACT SAME BULBS as the regular low beams?

I replaced the original low beam bulbs last week in the 03 with the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's ($50 a 2-pack) and theyre nice n bright. I KNOW! NOT AS GOOD AS AN HID KIT, but these fit my needs just fine.

Yes that is true for the 2003-2005 models. 2006-2009 use H11 as the low beam but continued using 9006 for the fogs.

9006...

The OEM fog bulbs were at lower wattage when I first replaced it. Since the fog projector type assembly cost close to $300/pair at that time, I put 35W HID in there so as not to melt something. It spread out lite better than the low beam.

(best combo - modified 9005 lows, HID fogs)

Alright, thanks guys! Not just to get the housing for them......:boink:

Huh, I actually have a set of pre-face lift Foglights at work from when I installed the Shrockworks bumper...

Anyways, how do you plan on turning on your foglights? I can't remember if the non-foglight vehicles still had the same signal stalk, I would guess not. Otherwise to turn the foglights on I would think you'd need to wire in a switch.

Well since the wire runs up into the head light I would guess when you turn on the regular low beams it would turn on the fogs because it's wired with it. I wonder if I would have to add a fuse for it. Maybe. But if not, I could find a switch and wire it, hopefully I don't have to splice wires because I'm a mechanic, not a tech! If you asked me to wire something I would say can I have a book to do it? LOL

Did you ever order them and get them working?

 

[20034RunnerV84x2]

Haha sorry
I'm so late, my computer crapped out In November 2011 and sill haven't fixed it.

No I haven't , sadly. I need too, but not that it's practically spring now is the time to do it.
