99-02 4runner fog light pre-wiring

99-02 4runner fog light pre-wiring
I have confirmed that my 2000 SR5 4Runner is pre-wired for foglights from the factory, just as you guys said it would be. There are individual plugs that would plug into the fog lights in the front valence. So where does the wiring terminate (under the dash, I hope)? Is there a factory relay already in place or will I need to add my own? I'm hoping I can add the lights and a switch and be done with it. Rarely does it work out that way.
Thanks for the help,
Ken

If your planning to install the Hella Micro DE's (which are the OEM lights), you can find the kits via internet searches. They include the lamps, brackets, rocker switch, relay, wire and splices. I had to remove the lower cover on the steering column to wire mine up. The instructions that came with my kit were very good and the install took me about 2 hours including the procedure to adjust the lights' aim. I also replaced the standard H3 bulbs with H3 Hella Yellowstars which has added better contrast.

In addition, you can also buy an integrated switch directly from Toyota. It replaces your current headlight/high-low beams one. The only difference is that it has fog light switch and no wiring is required. Just replace the switch, install fog lights and you're done.

I do have a killer set on sale right now, and no wiring is needed to run through the firewall. It's has a cool remote setup if you want to use it that way.

Jason,
I will have to consider those. Do you have the option of a non-wireless model? I have no need for the keychain transmitters.
Andrey, would you mind if I asked how much this stalk costs? My truck is stock and all three of the switch cutouts are taken (from L to R - OEM alarm, clutch start cancel, rear diff lock)...a new stalk would solve that problem.

I am doing a ton of wiring stuff right now. Fused distribution block for an amp and inverter, fog lights, rock lights, backup lights (on-off-reverse), LED footwell and doorlights, DRL disable switch, CB wiring...I'm trying to do it all at once.

If you look under the hood at the fuse panel you will see that the relay is not installed where is says fog lights. I assume that you need to install the correct relay there

You are right, thanks for pointing that out. I found some inexpensive amber projectors that I will likely use in the factory cutouts. I think I can complete this for less than $60, including the cost of the projectors, a relay and an OEM looking switch (cole hersee).
Thanks for the info!

as another person said, to get to the wiring (to use a switch that goes in a knockout, not the new turn stalk) you have to take the steering column plastic cover off, to get that off, you have to take the kickboard off. After that its just plugging a fuse and relay in (and of course wiring the lights up )

I got the kit from PP and you have to splice into a wire under the steering column for power. The kit I got came with the relay, brackets, lights, factory switch and all wiring. Only problem for me was that on my base model the plugs were there on the front of the truck, but that was it. When I tried to splice into the wire the directions said to I realized that my base model didn't even have the wire, so the plugs up front are no guaruntee that the wiring is all present. It should be on the SR5 though.

Relays are cheap...$4-12. I was at PepBoys tonight and saw Pilot made two different universal wiring kits. One had a remote control relay and a keychain controller and the other had everything (wiring, relay, PIAA-style compact dash switch) minus the lights for $19.99.
