    Went to install fog lights and found these connectors, these are connected to each other, check continuity, and found 2 wires are connected and both have power, looking to buy switch and connector, would also like to know what these wires were to be used for; before I starting diking wires.

    Pre-wired and the switch blank would be the first spot not the current third spot in the picture, also would need a relay too!

    That is NOT the fog switch connector!

    It looks like this, or similar:

    Upon my browsing when I put in my fogs, trim levels are dependent if you have pre-wiring for fogs or not. I have a 2014 SR, no pre-wiring for fogs. SR5 are a 'maybe', trims above that should have it.

    Think the plug you have pulled out is the pre-wire for the bed outlet

    Thanks Every one that responded, gave me some great ideas, currently searching pick a part yards to rob parts that are needed to install OEM fog lights. I am also thinking about installing LED foglights.
