Heeeellllp!!! im trying to install my foglights but when i openned the front dash where the harnesses are.. theres three of them.. three females! I dont know which one is the right one for the switch to connect to. If anyone has installed the oem foglights before please reply!! tHANKS YOU!!!! :wtf:

 

Time to get out your test light. Test each wire for power. BTW your thread had me fooled, I saw "three females" and was like "hell yeah". thanks.

 

I saw the title and was about to say you don't have any problems.

yea, we're gonna need some pics and/or vids of those three females please. um k? thanks.

awwww.. CRAP!!! Sorry about the female guys, i kno i know i tricked yuall. SORRY. I have a problem.. i need to get a factory switch and relay for the foglights. Switch costs 160 and relay costs 60. I got the foglights on ebay for 80 bucks!! can i just cut the wires and attach it to a switch from radio shack or something?? anyone??? -wheres the toyota tech???
Oh yeah sorry no photos.. i dont have a digital camera right now!

 

Ok guys, i finally found and installed a pair of oem foglights! These are the new roundish lens instead of the rectangular ones in previous years. (200-2003 ??) The lamps are installed and connected to the harness but i have a problem with adding the switch and a relay (if needed). I openned the panel under the steering wheel and to the left there are three different female jacks. im not sure which one is for the foglights! I called the dealer and they said that theres a specific switch that mounts onto the stick where u turn your lights on and off. But it costs $140!!! plus he said i needed a relay which costs $60!! Well i was thinking of buying a switch and a relay from radio shack and splicing the wires for the oem switch. ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ???? please reply THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

CRAP!

I thougth it was going to be a story about girfriends and menage a trois plus une.

Just another April fools joke with a twist. A wire twist, that is.

 

Uh, stop being stupid? Grab a voltmeter and actually test what is doing what. Or complete the circuit. You aren't going to kill yourself with 12v. Maybe if you light the battery on fire...

If using a paper clip to connect the contacts doesn't work, I'd suggest making your own relay.

 

Chi San:
That's a good way to start here


I strongly suggest you get to one of the main forums and look at the top for this post:

Oh another urban legend to be trounced on.

It's not voltage that kills you its amperage. A little as 300 milliamps can stop your heart. Why aren't you dead yet? Because the skin provide from 1000 to 1000000 ohms of resistance. So, 12 vdc can kill given enough amperage. And those auto batteries can kill.

 

I was going to say "what?! Three women in your front dash?!? Are they gnomes?!?"

Be nice, Chi!

 

Yes, that is true. However, with a vehicle off, you really can't pull enough amps to kill yourself.

Just wire that thing into one, make it temporary. Switch it on. If nothing happens, then it's not the right socket.

I just get irritated when people see a problem, go :wtf:, then ask about it on a forum. Can't you try something first?

Turn car off, remove key. If you want to be safe, unplug negative terminal from battery and tap the brakes a few times. Pop a paper clip in to complete the circuit. Reconnect Negative terminal.

Personally, if I put fogs in the T100, I'd get a Toyota switch for 'em. I'd like it to match the rest of the truck dash, but if you want to use a Radio shack switch, that would work as well.

 

Still though, Chi, it's better to be safe than sorry around circuits and the like, especially if you aren't sure of things. I'd rather help someone otu than tell them to piss off until they fry themselves.

That's what the forum is for -- so we can help each other out.

 

You were just in a bad mood cus you came here and were expecting to see three females! Think he tricked a few other people too.

 

ok, we definitely need to see some pictures!!! You started with three females, gotta keep the promise!

I dunno. I'm used to working with 12v circuits that are like 0.00002 amps anyway.

Are the wires, by any chance, color coded? Might be able to find a color code to figure out which one goes to which one on the dash.

Also, go down and buy a new bulb for your dome light. While there, ask the dood if he can give you some extra help with the fog lights. :p

No more posting at 4 am for me.

 

you can get a relay from any autp parts store for under 10 bucks , and most any switch will do there is a great area here to se how to do it , i dotn know exactly whrreit is right now , but do a search there is great info here . start atthe main page .

wooooow.. this was last year.. i bought a pair of 04 oem foglights off ebay for 70 bucks.. but did not have the switch nor relay.. i just installed a set of hella 550 and i realized the setup of the wiring for the hellas MUST work for the OEM foglights.. so i bought a wiring kit from kragen.. and waLa.. it worked! i did this las august... and i just came across this post again today.. =) oh yeah.. im looking for a set of hella 500 if anyone wants to get rid of theirs!

 

sl:

contact biff. he has a set of hella 500 fogs
