    Was part of a convoy to the beach over the weekend and was receiving plenty of compliments on my fog light anytime/ DTRL combo. Got home and realized my fog lights weren't working... found out it was the fuse. Fixed and running again.

    I just did this. Pretty easy, works like a charm. Now I can run fog lights during the day instead of headlights, so I don't have to choose between washing out head unit during the day or having it blind me at night. THANKS.

    Did mine, today, but I'm still a little hinky about pulling power from the EFI relay, though. But I figured that, if nobody has had problems yet, that it was probably OK.

    Twice today, I noticed that the fog lights on my truck were on after using the EFI relay for power. Before the second time, I checked to make sure they were out when I parked. That's not gonna work for me, so I'm gonna put it back to stock until I find a workaround.

    Anyone know where I can get a copy of the wiring diagram for a 2015 DCLB?

    This is what I saw this evening when I looked out my front window:FogLight.jpg

    I took my power from the main engine fuse box, the 10A A/C fuse. There is only power to the fuse when the ignition switch is on. I tried to use an "add a fuse" but couldn't orient it to allow the cover to be re-installed. I tinned the wire, and shoved it along side one of the fuse spades. It's been working fine for 6 months. This is on a 2015 Access cab.

    You've got the inverter relay on the top of the right fuse box. You can follow the OP's original instructions!

    Yeah for those using the efi relay sounds like that relay gets turned on from time to time during the trucks systems checks every 4ish hours.

    If that isn't OK and you don't have the ac relay you will have to find another spot as described above.

    So, my fuses went out again... And going to run a separate relay to power the foglights.

    ??? you must have an issue / short somewhere else because the stock relay is rated for WAY higher than what the fogs pull.

    Make sure all your crimps and connections are tight and the wires from the relay go to the correct corresponding places in the box.

    How about a picture of your setup?

    I have a 2015 TRD Sport. Did mine today. Worked great. It was more work than I thought it would be. I'm still nervous about it. Messing with the electronics always make me nervous.

    A few days in and no problems at all, no flickering, no random turn on after a few hours.
    I would like them to have a white light instead.
    Since I am running them as DRLs and not fogs, do I really need to do an entire upgrade, or can I just swap out the bulb with an LED? If so, what do you all recommend?

    I'm weary about using the EFI for the power source also. It seems a few people are having issues with that right now. Any other solutions if you don't have the AC/DC converter?

    Mine is an 06 DCSB V6 base

    Here is a picture of my fuse box with this mod completed. Not as pretty as the OP's, but it does the trick.
