so I have an SR5 that didn't come with fog lights and its already prewired and I have a factory switch, are the fog wires under the dash somewhere or are they behind the blank panels?

thanks in advance!

Do you have a stalk switch or a dash switch? As far as I know. the factory wiring on the '99 SR5 is to the stalk, you just need a different stalk to make it work.

To use a dash panel switch, I assume you would have to patch into the stalk wiring. I wired mine from scratch and added a dash switch.
 
Thanks Durk for the response....
I don't have the stalk switch so looks like I'll have to figure out what wires to use if i wanted to use the factory wiring (if thats possible).
If I decide to wire it myself, would you mind providing a quick tutorial of what you did?
thanks =)

I wired mine so they can be on anytime the parking lights are on. You need a basic Bosch style relay. It has two contact terminals and two coil terminals. (Disregard the Normally Closed contact if it has one). First,tap into parking light hot and connect to dash switch. Dash switch on the other end goes to relay coil and then other end of relay coil to ground. Main power from light fuse to relay contact. Relay contact on other end to lights. Then other end of lights to ground. Connect other end of light fuse to battery or fuse box hot. Voilá, habemus lux! (mixing French and Latin.) I used 12ga. on contact circuit and 14ga . on switch/coil circuit.

Basically I duplicated what Lightforce suggests in their accessory kit described here: Linky exceot I tapped into a parking light hot wire. My Hellas came with a harness but IT WAS put together wrong. You can find those stalks on e-Bay if you really want to use the stock wiring.
