    Hi guys,

    Trying to figure out how to set up fogs on my new C4 Hybrid bumper with the BD squadron sports I got for it. I'd like to use existing functionality of the turn signal stalk to light up all 4 (2 on each side), but I'm not sure how to wire that. Is there a BajaDesigns to Toyota adapter, or do I have to splice into the factory wiring and put deutsch connectors to the 2 light splitter on each side?

    just remember, BD lights are not fog lights. they are aux lights (they have fog coming)
    to make this work you would need to make a factory wire splitter then you can hook up both. You might run the numbers to see if the stock wiring can handle the current, if not then you would need to install a relay

    I'm sorry, I'm a pipefitter so I can look at isometric pipe prints all day, but electrical diagrams are a little foreign to me.

    Get parts and make short harness to tap into the vehicle's fog circuit.

    I already have additional relays set up in my tacoma, from EN 1 make a harness that will power the fogs through a non factory relay correct? I really don't know how to read your print. The factory fog set up can't power the squadrons by itself?

    It makes for any gremlins not to be appear. All you'll need is the input from the green wire on EN1 to activate the relay you have.
