2013 Toyota Tacoma Fog Light Wiring

Battery----------------------------------Firewall----------fuse-------switch
_____<------------short from here to here= fire------->

 

So can I run two fuse holders?

 

I don't think there will be any short

 

And is it fine if I didn't make a hole in the boot and just feeding it through the top? I can use some silicone glue to seal it

 

Yes

Anything can happen

As long as the wire is going through RUBBER it will be fine. If it's going through metal or the metal rubs the edge of the wire--

 

Yes its rubbing the metal

 

I will add a next fuse holder and re run the wire to let it be safer

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Hey can you tell me how I can get through the firewall the right way?

 

The fuse needs to be within about a foot of the hot (positive) lead if at all possible. Think of it this way; every inch of wire before the fuse is an unprotected circuit. Unprotected circuits = calls to the Fire Department.

 

In a country where it’s too expensive to ship an add a fuse to, this is what their fire truck looks like.

 

The black thing wrapped with electrical tape is the added fuse holder with a 15A ATO fuse. Is it okay to wrap it up?


I cutted the nipple that was there and deeded the wire in the correct way. Do I need to seal it with anything?


I am currently using a led H11 bulb but I notice the bulb is tilted a little bit and the bulb is all the way tighten. I also want to know if it's okay to use a 15A fuse for such light consumption the bulb is around 17W.

 

That'll work fine. I would put a 5A fuse in it. 17W is only about 1 1/2 amps. So, 3 amps total draw. You should seal up where the wire goes through the firewall. You should be able to just tape it up. So, how does the wire get through the firewall to get from the relay to the fog lights.

 

Well I cutted it and pigtail splice it back in, that's the only way the the plug for the switch are too big

 

I know, I will tape up firewall boot tomorrow but other than that I'm 100% completed

 

I only see 1 wire going through the firewall. Where’s the other one?

 

No, it's 2 wires because I needed to extend the wire from the battery to relay and I used a black wire instead of a red wire. The red wire you see in the picture is to the fog lights. There is a black wire there too, maybe it's not visible in the picture

 

OK, sounds good.

 

Make sure you slip that red rubber cover for the positive battery terminal back up into place!
