Putting the red bumper lenses to use

Update: January 6, 2005

Lexus rear fog light switch arrived... but I will not be taking this route as it requires minor modification. I have sourced a switch from the '05 Tacoma line which will have the fog light picture on it. It should be a direct fit with no modifications needed. Cost is about $80CDN for the switch and $5 for the connector pins. I have it on order as of today so it should be here... soon!

Be sure to post pics and part numbers of the switch when it arrives..

What did you do with the switch? do you happen to have the p/n and a pic?

Thanks

The Lexus switch was returned and the Toyota fog light switch is on order. It should be a direct fit. I will have the part number and pictures up once I get it..

anyone think of just hooking them up to two relays that would get a ON/OFF signal from both front daytime driving lights? One relay for the right and one for the left. As the fronts come on so would the rears. As one of the fronts would blink for a turn signal so would the corresponding rear.

Via online currency converter:
$80.38 CDN = $64.0482 US
$4.25 CDN = $3.39 US

Damn, that is an expensive switch!

I know.. but this was the best way for me to keep it stock looking and without much modification.

:iagree: but I think the Japanese Fog Switch is about half the price. However, you have to wait a while for it to ship and if it comes with any directions they would be unreadable. I wonder if it is the exact same part and if the connector part would work with it too. Thanks for sharing your experience with this switch.

If you don't mind waiting.. i'm sure someone can hook you up with the jdm one... but i'm impatient. It should be all the same connectors.. j ust gotta find your appropriate power source and make sure you seal those housings.

Always happy to share my experiences with my buddies!

Is there a difference? and hoe do you figure its cheaper?

I don't know if there is a difference.

I either read it somewhere or received it from a quote from Carson Toyota. I can't remember and it is late so I don't feel like searching for it right now. I'll try to look for it later.

Directions are not necessary. If it is unclear as to which direction to mount the switch, one could Ohm it out.

Connector question...

iForce (or anyone else):
What kind of terminals did you use inside the connector? Or did it come prewired? I'm looking to do something similar with the switch but the piece of the puzzle I'm missing is how do you make the wiring connections at the switch. Do you have or can you take any pics of the actual wiring inside the connectors? Are the terminals available other than at the dealer?

Hey fellows! When I had my dash apart last weekend, I couldn't help but to notice that there were two non-usedfree hanging wired plugs. I have the V6 and just the traction control button on the left side. I figure one of the hanging plugs was for the 12 volt/115 volt AC button; could the other be for the rear fog lamp modification? Could it be for something else used on the limited/sport edition models? If it is used for the rear fog lamps in Japan; the wiring might already be there but the rear plug may be just taped up to a rear wiring harness. What do ya'll think?
