    Soooo, i think i broke something while trying to install my Morimoto XB LED Foglights. I'm a total newbie to DIY projects, in the instruction, it said to check the wiring before placing it in the black male housing. As I was doing this, i maaaaaay have accidentally touched the two wires together, and I hear almost a "zap" sound, a buddy things I may have blown the fuse. If I did, does anyone know what type of fuse is needed? And also where the fuse box is located on a tacoma (I'm a previous VW GTI owner). Thanks for the input. !!

    Update: just talked to my other friend who really knows cars, found out it was the fuse and found the thread about the fuse box, etc...

    IDK about the headlight, I checked and my low beams and high beam is still working. A buddy of mine says I may have burnt out the "wires"??
