    How much do you want for the harness and relay set?

    I'm considering adding driving lights and I do like certain parts of the harness.

    I think I might hang on to them. I have quite a few extra lights in the garage and the wires and harness might come in handy one day, sorry.

    Congratulations on the instal. The thread has been useful -- I'm doing the same.

    Also, which tail lights are those? They are the exact ones I'm looking for but haven't found them yet. do you have a link?

    Thanks

    Yea it took me a while to get it all figured out but it worked. It was so much easier than I thought it would be.

    As far as the tailights go, just search toyota tacoma tail lights on ebay, they are all over the place.

    found this pigtail while poking around to see where to put my factory fog light switch ($41 toyotapartszone)

    I guess I'm prewired?

    Did that pigtail come from right behind that middle one? Because I believe the factory fog switch is tr far left. It could be both thought I'm not 100% sure.

    it was attached to the middle blank. I could not find a location for a relay or fuse.

    OP, was your fuse box labeled for fog lights?

    There was a wiring harness behind my left-most cover but once I tried to fit it to my switch I found it was the wrong one. I had to keep looking and found the proper harness behind the centre cover.

    I found a diagram for the fuse box either inside the cover of the fuse box or in my manual, I do't remember exactly. The relay will only fit in one position, though. It's somewhere near the middle of the fuse box I think.

    Hope that helps.

    Try and look around behind all the blanks for one that will fit. Is your truck the 4.0 4x4?
    I heard that some trucks that are 2wd or the 4 cylinder aren't pre wired.

    I used to have a picture of the fuse box with an arrow pointing towards the relay that's for the fogs - ill try and find it

    Fog relay will be indicated on the graphic on the bottom of the lid.
    Same for the fog fuse. Not sure, there might be two fuses, one under the hood and one in the cab.

    Locate where the fog relay belongs in the underhood box and look to confirm that there are connectors. Non-wired trucks will just have plastic slots and no brass connectors.

    I will confirm my 09 4cyl was not pre wired, ordered a 90 dollar kit off Amazon and installed it today, once I got a proper ground everything was good. Also instead of the positive lead from the switch going to the park lamp wire i just pinned exposed wire into the fuse box with a spare fuse.

    Those seem a little too cheap to be good quality

    I would buy the kit if you aren't sure if you are ore wired or not, worse that could happen is you have an extra harness laying around that you can use for other aux light
