    Turning my Base into an SR5 one piece at a time
    I'm putting OEM foglights in my 2010 base DCLB which came pre-wired, but it looks like I've run into a jam.

    I picked up the lights and bulbs from another TWer and they fit great. I picked up the relay and switch from RockAuto.com. The relay is in place, but when I popped the blank out to hook up the switch, I found the harness had a 6 (maybe 5?) pin female end and the switch has a 4-pin male end.

    I looked all over on RockAuto.com to try to find a 6-pin, but came up empty handed. Any ideas on where to find a compatible switch? I'm not crazy about cutting and soldering wires, so I'm looking to avoid that at all costs.

    (One POSSIBLE caveat - the truck came from the Canadian market (it's got a Canadian VIN). But in the past, everything else has been interchangeable with parts from the US market)

    That's not the fog switch connector. It's the inverter connector.

    Remove the other switch blanks so you may see better and find it.

    Thanks Caribe!

    Hmmm...that's the from the far left blank where everyone has been saying the fog light switch should be. You think I should start popping out other blanks and see what I come up with?

    Well, I just popped the other 2 out of my '11 and found that plug hanging loose, and my fog switch is hooked up and working, so I'd say so. Looks to be off the same harness as that plug.

    @caribe makaira FTW! Just popped out blank #2 and found the 4-pin harness. To keep things neat and orderly, I swapped the harness locations and got the fog light to the far left, plugged it in and BINGO! We've got fog lights.

    Thanks for the quick input!
