    Telling us a model might let some folks give an educated guess.

    And you can look behind where the lights mount to see if there are any wires/plugs not in use. They are usually folded back and taped to the harness somehow, so not always the easiest to spot.

    Wondering the same thing with my 2011 Taco. If it is pre-wired and no switch on the dash is labeled for it, but wouldn’t it have to be connected to an unlabeled switch?

    .The plug for switch should be taped back to the under dash harness. There are probably a missing relay and fuse in the system as well.

    I just added fogs to my prewired 04 Highlander with those bits.

    No I4 trucks are pre-wired for fogs.

    2.7 liter inline 4 motors.

    If your truck is a V6, it'll be pre-wired.

    If it isn't.. no dice.

    The 2nd gen OEM fog light install kit was discontinued 2 years ago, but the 3rd gen kit should be identical. They use the same fog housings, and it wouldn't otherwise make any sense to discontinue a kit unless they're just revising part numbers.

    Check online, I think you'll be looking at $150-175 for an OEM kit. Comes with everything you need, all the way down to zip ties. Install instructions from the Toyota FSM.

    I got mine from Toyota of McDonough's website. They were awesome.
