relay confusion?!

ok so i bought some fogs, switch and relay for my truck since it didnt come with them, got the switch and relay still waitin on the lights. anyway i decided to install the switch and relay, switch went fine but when i went to put the relay in i came across this...now on the diagram under the cover, were it says the foglight relay goes, theres already one in there?!?! do i replace this one with the one i bought? it looks no differnt other then the color, or just send the one i bought back cause for some reason my truck is special and has one already




new one

 

if you are gonna use the relay that came with the lights..............no.....it doesnt go in the fuse box. you can wire everything up and screw it into the side of the motor compartment near the battery. dont take out the relay thats already in the fuse box.(im posting as if you are installing some aftermarket lights,like on a bull bar or brush guard)

are you adding factory fog lights to your bumper??

i reread your post. what amperage and all is the the relay in the fusebox?

 

ignore my above post.......just woke up!

you should be fine leaving the relay in thats already there.

 

yes tacomaman, they are going in the bumper, my trucks already wired for them, the truck just didnt come with them, but everyone ive seen do this has bought the lights switch and relay to make it work

 

they probably added that as part of the "fog light wiring" from the factory. you should be good to go.

 

cool ill just wait till i get the lights, plug em in, if they work ill just send the new relay back. thanks for the input!

 

Hi, hope you can help!
I have an 09 Tacoma 4x4, 4cyl access cab SR5 that did not come with the factory fog lights in the bumper. I would like to install and was looking to see if my truck was pre wired for bumper fog lights and did not see any wires near the fog light location (back side of the bumper). Where was your wire harness for the factory fogs located? Any pictures to show?

Would appreciate any help or input you can offer.

FYI; I did not purchase the fog lights, switch or relay at this point but did noice them listed on Ebay in the past.

Thanks,
Bob

 

well it seems to be that your truck isnt wired, when i looked behind my front bumper the harness was taped up right there in clear view it was very easy to find. so if you dont see yours i doubt its wired already, plus i dont think any of the 4cyls come wired from the factory just the v6. sorry to rain on your parade haha
