    from the looks of that harness kit on Amazon, its not going to get the job done for you noah. You need the harness adapter to fit the Extreme LED square part and then convert to the OEM pill shape from the toyota side, or reversed like mine.

    Gramps and I cut off the OEM plug side and tapped in the square Rigid harness to use my OEM fog switch, image here

    It's not an adapter, it's just an extension cord. You cut it in half and solder the ends over to your fog lights giving it an OEM connection

    They are called Deutsch connectors. I have a kit and can crimp them if needed.

    I would buy two new connectors and then just cut off the current connectors on each side and use the new ones; unless you're trying to preserve the OEM connection for some reason. As a cheapo alternative you can always get some shielded terminals from Ace Hardware put a female and male on one side and vice versa on the other side (so you can't plug them in wrong) and then pack each connection with dielectric grease to keep water out and tape it up for good measure.

    What haven’t I changed?
    Looks like you have a Deutsch DT 2-pin male connector coming from the fog lights and a Delphi Metri Pack connector from the factory wiring. I agree with Phil that you should keep the connector coming off the fog light but that means you need to get a Deutsch DT 2-pin female plug for the factory wiring to keep that connection weatherproof. I have about 25 plugs here so if you can wait a couple weeks I can help you with the install, or you can PM me your mailing address and I can mail you a couple connectors with pins/plugs.

    Edit: Saw that @TimF posted before I did so he should be able to help you out :)

    I'm just trying to connect the extreme LEDs to the stock fog light switch. I already ordered those connectors off Amazon haha. I was thinking I could just cut the OEM plug off and solder the new plug to those wires

    I got it from ICON but hobby town USA and many vendors carry axial scale crawler trucks. This one runs about 350 plus battery and charger. It was RTR out of the box

    did the Extreme LED lights come with a harness kit that has the female end? if so just use that and cut off your OEM tacoma side and solder together and heat shrink the tacoma wires to the female end of the harness, and electrical tape around the heat shrink. problem solved!!

    oh yeah and cancel the order from Amazon, unless its shipped already they are usually great about canceling the order

    if it just came with what was in your picture then you need to order the kit you did and cut and splice wires or wait to get the Deutsch DT 2-pin male connector from Chenbro and cut and splice together the Extreme LED female end to the male end you will put on the tacoma side.

    Cool, so I'll wait for those connectors from Amazon and then cut the stock connectors off, then splice
