    OK Bailey, I have gone a different route now and got the actual fog light switch and connector for a 2nd gen Tacoma. See pic below of the wiring schematic. I couldn't find anything from Toyota but I found this on TW (so it must be accurate!) IT has 4 wires and the current toggle switch on your harness has 4 wires so I figured this may be the best option. Will this help you in figuring out which of the wires from your switch go where on the OEM Fog light switch?

    Also, here is a picture of the OE fog light switch from a 2015 Tacoma that I will be using.

    Our wiring harness has 3 wires off the switch.


    Wires below are from TOP to BOTTOM on Baja Designs Switch. I've included where they connect using the diagram above.

    Black Wire = Ground = GND
    Red Wire #1 = 12V to Light = 12V OUT
    Red Wire #2 = 12V from Battery = 12V IN

    Please let me know if this is works. I can make something more detailed if needed.

    Awesome! I understand that. Thank you for the help. So I am guessing I just need to tap into one of the fuse panel locations so I can get the illumination function and connect it to the "12V Night" spot. I think I saw a recommended location from another thread.

    Thanks!

    Using an Add-A-Fuse you can easily do so without any splicing. Keeps everything clean and organized as well.

    I have a new problem... the connector on the light is the same as the one on the harness. I have two more plastic connectors like these in the box still but nothing that would connect these two together. Am I missing something or would I need a different connector from you?

    I see three connectors in the photo. The one in the top corner is whats included on our Squadron and
    $28 S2 Series Tire Air Chuck - 1/4" F-NPT (Open Flow) (2-Pack)
    S2 Series LED Lights. It's a two pin weatherpack that has white for positive current and black for negative. That weatherpack will plug directly into one of the two connectors lower down in the photo. Are both of the leads lower in the photo coming from the harness? Just want to make sure both go to the harness. If for some reason a light is pre-wired with the wrong connector I can send you the correct connector and pins.

    The connector on the top left of the photo is from the squadron pro light. The top left connector is the factory harness. The bottom connector is from the provided harness that came with the kit that I didn't need when I had the lights hooked up as stock functioning lights.

    Update: it works! Now I have lights on an OEM switch. It turns on even with the truck off which I'm not 100% stoked about but it'll be ok I think. I did the add-a-circuit but don't have it plugged in. I'm not sure which one to do yet. I'll have to research that some more.

    I ordered a pair of flush mount lights to work as reverse lights in the rear bumper.

    Oh Lordy....

    For the rock lights and the rock lights with switch. Do either of those come with wiring to be able to wire up?

    The only wiring that is included is the power cord that is coming out of the Rock or Dome Light.

    Ah, so not very long then and would need to source more wiring if needing to install on the rear of a truck and run it towards the engine bay then?

    So are you guys supposed to send the nut and bolt to mount to the bumper bc I only got the bolt and no nut:goingcrazy::goingcrazy:
    Also I called and spoke to you Bailey on Friday and asked what gauge wire you guys used on the squadron sports. You said 12 gauge, so I bought butt connectors big enough for 12 gauge wire.... ummm so your lights come with 16-18 gauge wire, nowhere near 12 gauge btw.... so I'm out the $7 for the wrong size butt connections and $6 to buy the nuts needed to install. Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed
