indipendant use of fog lights

I have a 04 SE and I would like my fog lights to come on when my parking lights are on too. Please email me at [email protected] and let me know how to do it.

1.) Welcome to the forums.

2.) It doesn't quite work that way. In the posts above yours, there is all kinds of info detailing how to do this. You do your own research by searching the boards, then ask any unanswered questions in one of the threads already started, whenever possible.

3.) It is probably a really bad idea to post your email address on any forum. Spammers use special programs that search the web for email addresses. Your junk email increase exponentially if you are not careful. Your address that you registered with is safe, however. That is why there is a private message option to exchange messages between users, without ever having to disclose your private email address.

Fog Lights

Hi: After spending a few nights reading some interesting information and having in mind to put into practice some of these ideas I went and follow your advise.
I recently bought my Runner (May 27, 05) in Venezuela. Mine is the Japanese version 5RS. I did the combination swith wiring, except I never saw that blue cable...but it worked anyway and the fog lights worked as mentioned. The problem I have now is that I want them on whenever I turn on the fog switch.

How can I do that? I tried the instructions on connecting to the "green cable" turn signal for power bending the pin on the fog relay etc. In other words, I want to turn the fog lights regarless of the mode and to have them turn off when I turn of the swithc in case I leave them on.

Thanks for the help....anyone
 
Fog lights

Sorry, I was connecting the wrong cable. Now the fog lights work as posted.: 1) Turning parking lights on and 2) High Beam...excellent mod.

Thanks
 
I want a timer that clicks my foglights on for like half a minute till I enter the truck... Like courtesy lights.... or dome light supervision... meh... I'm gonna cook up something to make it work!!!!

I want my fog lights to automatically flash three times when I come up behind a vehicle going under 45mph. Of course, I want them to turn on when I think about it, and turn off if I don't think about it. Can anyone help me with the wiring? :biggrin2:
 
Great thread though, and I just couldn't help putting that joke above on the end! I just spoke with Steve at XenonDepot and have ordered the 9006 HID kit to put in the fog lights. If I am still not happy I will order HID Aux lights. If the existing fog lights work, I won't have to worry about getting aux lights broken.
 
so since now ur fogs are independent do they stay on with ur brights on or they go off like they normally do
 
Independant auto-off foglights

I now have independent control of the fog lights just using the existing factory fog light switch..... they can be on or off regardless of whether any other lights are on as long as the keys are in the ignition!!
:biggrin2:

This site and thread was great for answering some of my questions based upon earlier discovery of J.A.'s write-up:
http://www.top4runners.com/ja/2007/fogmod.html

I wasn't sure where the C12 Combo switch harness was until it was realized it's inside the steering column surround....One thing though ...the '05 SR5 has a different color wire - it isn't blue...... it's red w a green stripe at pin 17.

Here is a better pic of the steering column and where the C12 Combination harness is. Looking up from drivers side door under steering column after surround is removed.

In the engine compartment fusebox I ran the relay ground to the IG1 that was vacant with 5amp fuse protection.

It's a bit ghetto but it works!
:D

This is the device I used to bypass the relay so the fogs will turn on with or without headlights being on. They will shut off once the keys are out of the ignition or if you lock the vehicle! :bigok:
