Fog Light Mod 2013

Yes, it's possible and has been posted in another thread on here, it's just a pain in the ass. I'd rather risk breaking a $5 relay and be able to add or remove the mod in 2 seconds, but that's personal preference.

 

You get flashed when running only the fogs/fogs and DRLs?

 

Yep, ever since I drove of the dealer lot. Any combo with the fogs and I have no idea why. They're stock and not pointed high or anything. Guess I just live around people with sensitive night eyes. I hardly ever drive around with them on any more, even with the mod.

 

That's weird! I've only ever been flashed on really lonely two lane highways out here in AZ at night... people haven't seen a car for miles and miles and their eyes aren't adjusted, so they think I've got my brights on. I had the same mod on my 2011, and I didn't have issues with that either. The 2012-13 have a way better cutoff on the fogs, so there's even less glare now...

 

FYI, the fog lights are adjustable. I would just lower them about a half turn down for starters.

 

Seen another post where they run from the Fog Relay to that Gray Box above it for the inverter. I want to do this to my 2014 just not sure if connecting to the inverter is the best way. What do you think?

 

So long as where ever your connecting to is a switched 12v hot it doesnt matter.

The amp draw to power the fog light relay is literally nill.

 

I just did this on a 2014. I stole power from the park lamps to power the relay. I wanted the Fogs to turn on and off with the headlight switch as a final power source. Thanks for all the info.

 

Where did you plug it in? The little plugs around the foglight relay on my 2012 are always hot. Which means the fogs will stay on with the key off. Any pics of where you plugged that in?

 

Thread revamp from the dead. Did you ever get this one figured out dude? You should had PM'ed me because I totally forgot about this thread way back when!

 

check the first link in my signature below to my foglight mod.

 

Awesome, looks pretty cut & dry......I pretty much got everything to make this happen lying around my garage/toolbox...except the 10 amp fuse that I'll need to purchase
Upgrade soon to happen, thanks guys

 

I'd have to easily reverse this mod; Virginia annual inspection checks fogs to go off when hi beams are on. Don't think the cop's care tho.
Fog's are used as drl's on certain infinity models; so don't understand 'flashing' from other drivers. It's safer having more light, even at daytime, like so many commercial vehicles are headlights-on all the time.
WOuld seriously consider fog led's to cut down on the power usage though...

 

Did a simalar thing, thanks for the insight! ------> https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2013-toyota-tacoma-build.469082/page-2

 

Didn’t work in my 2006...

 

Hate to bring such an old thread back to life. This is my lower fuse box, I have connected the two fuses every combination possible. I’ve gotten everything from the fogs staying on all the time and never going off to my ac and windows working without the key. But I have yet to figure out how to get the fogs to work with the on/acc/running without the headlight switch on. Please, any help is appreciated.

 

Reviving an old thread
Has anyone done this Fog light mod recently
Seems to be the easiest
Would like to do so on my 14

 

This is pic
couldnt figure out how to add to above post

 

Can't speak to this thread but, FWIW, many of of us have had good luck with ND4's Fog Light Anytime Mod... NO splicing, No Bending, 100% reversible.

 

This is my OE Aux fuse box... Do I just need to jump with one wire?
