    Yes parking lights need to be on for fogs to work. Unlike previous trucks where fogs would only work with headlights.

    and what is the point of having fogs on when the high beams are on? if you need high beams you need the distance, which fogs do not help with.

    the center most pin on the fog light relay is where you want to add 12v to turn them on.
    the fog lights are approx. 8Amps. you can get 20A illuminated switch on ebay.
    use a Circuit Fuse Tap Piggy Back MINI Blade Fuse Holder (also on ebay) to get power
    from the interior fuse box. the switch can be mounted on the lower left of dash near
    fuse box. the fog lights will turn off when you turn off the truck.

    No, currently I have all the parts to do it in my desk.
    what I wanted was to be able to turn on the fog lights without the DDL.
    what I did instead was just unplug the DDL and leave my fog lights on,
    they will auto shut off when you turn off the truck and open the door.
    if you are going to install a switch for the fog lights in the lower left dash,
    you do not have to take all that section of the dash apart. the quick way
    to do it is to just pop off the blank switch cover plate by using duct tape
    and pulling it out. then run the wires through that hole, connect the wires
    to the switch and then snapping the switch into place.

    The "Did you search?" patrol hit this posting. But many readers still responded, so, go ahead and keep asking. Nice people will respond.

    I tried tonight using this method: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...no-splicing-no-bending-100-reversible.309407/
    and one of those piggy back fuse holders like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=cir...F-8#safe=off&tbm=shop&q=piggyback+fuse+holder

    Tired every combination, including the center pin, with no luck keeping the fogs on while high beams are on. Either I did not find a proper 12v fuse within the fuse compartment, or there are other electrical thing happening that I do not understand yet.

    Still trying to figure it out.

    I too want the ability to turn fogs on(which are Baja Designs Squadron Pro-R driving combo LED lights) on with the high beam. Light up the road like the sun.
    My buddy has it in his Tundra. He can turn the fogs on with nothing else on.
