Toyota OEM fog switch installed w/pics

Hey guys,

I found this switch on ebay and picked it up, so easy to install and because its a factory fog lamp switch, it makes the dash look alot nicer than the switch that came with the hella lights i have on now. It came in factory packaging as well!

Installing it was a matter of popping out the old switch i had rigged up in there, switching the wires to the new fog switch and putting the fog switch in the bracket. That's it!

pics

Here's my hella fog switch that i "engineered" into the bracket and the factory fog switch


New fog switch, so much nicer to the eyes, and it works too!


Here's the lights that it powers up

thanks for compliments, I could have kept the hella fog switch, it worked just fine, but it started to become an eyesore so to speak. I got it for about the same 12 bucks.

Yeah, I have the stock bulbs and man are they bright!, everytime I run'em i get flashed from oncoming traffic, so i tend to only use'em when there is no oncoming traffic. But I can definitely use them if someone decides to tailgate me as well! Good Stuff!
