Installed PIAA 510 Fog Lamps

I began the install of the PIAA 510 fog lamps last weekend. It rained 3 mornings this past week and the lights work well.

Here is a pic of the install lamps.



I drilled a hole 2” from the rear of the fog lamp assembly and that gave me the clearance for the fog lamp to fit in the opening.

However under the hood was a temporary wire job. Butt Ugly.



Today I went to work on a fuse panel/relay center that I had planned for under the hood.

I needed to cut the buss bar to 6”





Here is the finished install with room to add 3 more relays and an extra fused circuit that may be required in the future.




A few night time pics of the new lights.





What is nice is that now adding lamps to the bed or a set of driving lamps will be an easier project. All I need to do is add wiring to the lamps and add a switch. I ran an extra 8 wires from the fuse paned to the area where the existing fog lamp switch is located.

 

Nice addition!!! Good job bro!!!

 

Thank you for the kind remarks.

 

how much brighter are they than stock?
i wanted to get hids. and get the same fogs

 

My Tacoma did not have stock fogs so I really do not know.

 

Looks great. I wish I was that handy. My wiring job looks like a gang bang of copper and fuses.

 

Just take your time and do not be in a hurry.

 

Nice job! What kind of bracket/mounting solution did you use to fit these in the stock bumper?

 

I was able to drill a hole in the plastic opening, part of the bumper shroud, that held the dummy insert. A couple of oversized washers on the mounting bolt and no problems for almost 9 years.

 

Thanks for getting back with me! I may give this a go in my 2013 in the future. Seems pretty simple!
