2013 Toyota Tacoma Fog Light Wiring

Hi TacomaWorld, I ordered a 2nd Gen Tacoma Fog light kit for my 2013 Tacoma 4 cylinder. I want to ask how is it supposed to be wired because I don't really know how to do this, this is going to be my first project. Any kind of help will be appreciated....

 

There is a possibility that all the factory wiring is there, have you checked?

 

I have already checked, it's not prewired from the factory. That's why I am buy this kit. But do you know how to wire it?

 

Any Help?

 

Did the light kit come with instructions at all for the harness?

 

It doesn't have instructions

 

I’d post this in the technical chat section. Some guys there that are very good with electrical stuff.

 

YOU can't really fubar it. Twin connector for each lamp (positive & negative), the relay has its own particular connector and the switch also. You're left with the harness fuse tap to the battery and the harness ground.

Lay out the harness with the connectors, take a pic and post so we can ID the parts for ya...

 

I haven't receive it yet, but are they anytime fog lights. When you add the fog lights, you can turn it on anytime right, even on high beams right?

 

Most likely...battery drain if you forget...but they might come with a T-tap to turn them OFF with high beam. Guess we'll find out when you do.

Maybe something like this:

 

exactly this. hopefully the harness kit that OP ordered comes pre-assembled to a connector for the relay. otherwise gotta figure out which relay pins are for load and which are for the switch. OP, a tip for getting the wires into the cab: use a dry cleaner coat hanger to stab through the firewall grommet and attach the wires to the hanger with electrical tape to pull through.

 

So you are telling me that it will turn off with high beams? If that's the case how can I make it anytime fog lights, so I can turn it on anytime I want

 

No...I said:"most likely". Wait and see what you get.

 

These are the wires

 

Seems the harness to the switch is kinda short...

 

You're going to have to place the relay and fuse holder inside the cab and de-pin the red with white stripe, so you only have one wire from the cab to the engine space...

 

I also suggest you cut the fuse holder and crimp an add-a-fuse in its place.



Change to this:

 

Also, instead of piercing the wire boot on the firewall, there's this nipple you can use to run that one red wire to the fog lamps.

 

Why do I have to depin this?

 

Can I do it with this add-a-fuse thing
