Welcome to TW

 

Welcome!

 

I did my 09 Prerunner, hopefully yours is pre wired also. There are a couple of good videos on you tube on how to do this, it is pretty simple. I recommend that you buy the OEM relay and push button switch. The switch that came with the kit I bought from Amazon sucked.

This is a new setup if you prefer LED goodness. This is on my wish list too....

I'm sure there are a few more posts on how to do the fog light install, also feel free to ask over on the Technical Chat or Prerunner BS. Welcome to TW..

 

fog light kit just arrived ! do the lights mount right into the bumper holes ,or do i need a plastic bezel . have not had a chance to remove the plastic fog light hole "filler" .

 

If I remember correctly the lights do not need a plastic filler. Once the plastic cups are removed the lenses directly fit, I think there is a tab on the lenses. It's super easy and lots of DIY videos on YouTube.

 

hey thanks for the help , should get to the lights this weekend . let you know how i made out.

This gives a pretty good idea on how to do it. My biggest issue with the kit I got from Amazon was with the push button switch, I replaced mine with OEM cause the one supplied with the kit didn't fit right. Maybe it was operator error on my part. Good luck with the install.

How did it go?

 

yeah , well my plans don't always agree with the wife and kids ! still haven't got there. you know , yard work , deck repairs , pool time with friends and family, it all gets in the way.

 

Hey finally installed fog light kit, went easily, work perfectly! Thanks for the post. Now i would like to replace the stock steel rims

 

That's awesome. Replacing the steelies was a priority with me too. My truck came with steelies and chrome wheel covers. I had to get rid of those as soon as possible, I scored a nice set of alloy wheels from a TW member. Good luck with the mods going forward....

 

just had my clutch replaced at 36k. i put 7 k of those on it. in my opinion the clutch should have lasted 150000-200000 miles. i have driven standard my whole life(young55yrs old). dont know about first owner.

 

Wow, maybe the first owner was new to MTs. I had over 185k on my Ranger with a 5 speed MT, no issues with the clutch.
