2015 Fog Light Mod?

Yeah what he said

 

Are the all the same size connectors to do it that way?

 

Mark your tires in dust on the inside of the rim, and scratch your oil filter to make sure they actually do it.

 

I had to use a dremel sanding wheel to make a couple male spades small enough to fit where the fog relay goes iirc. Or you could probably trim another way.

 

How come he doesn't have an inline fuse in his application? He is still running and extra wire from the blue fuse to the gray fuse. Just not bending anything, but how come no inline fuse? And the blue fuse that is used does anyone know the part number in case when I go to do it this way it breaks from bending

 

Okay does anyone know how I can get one to have on hand

 

I don't see a need for a fuse. It didn't come with one why add.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the mod I did makes you use it. Which made the box very hard to close. So should I remove it if it makes no sense?

 

I am getting ready to do this to my 2015. I have read enough of the threads to feel like i have a handle on what has worked before.

I am not going to bend a leg on the relay. To go back to stock i would have to buy a new, pins like that have a way of snappong off the last time i bend them.

I am not going to force a second conductor into a socket under another relay. That socket is very likely to take a new wider set, disabling or rendering intermittent the victimized relay when returned to stock.

I will poke around the incoming connectors to my two fuse-relay boxes in the next few days, but i doubt i have acces to the right parts and tools anymore. If you can find the right shop it is likely posible to pull the pin wirh the light green switched wire from the connector and replace it with a new identical connector, only with two wires crimped into it before it goes back into the plastic matrix connector pack.

You might could snip a similar plastic multi connector out of a junkyard gen ii and harvest a singke metal pin from it, but recrimping two wires into your harvest isnt the best way to build a dependable mod, you really want a virgin metal pin for this.

My plan is to build three short insulated jumpers so i can lift the relay out of the socket. For the fourth wire, the new trigger wire, ill probably end up with an add a fuse under the dash behind the coin box, through the fire wall, into the factory loom and then in to the small box with the fog light relay in it...

Ill probably pick a circuit that is only hot with the key turned on, i am verycurious to see what i get for visibility in blowing falling snow with just fogs +/- DRLs.

Bummer the loom feom the big duse box to the little relay box is completely tape wrapped. I can rwtape it. Also, i ha e rhe sr5 conveniece package, the only two relay sockets on mine with metal connectors for relays arw the fogs and air pump.

 

@Roostfactor

The modification is slightly different than on mine but this is how you would go about it, I highly recommend it!

 

I did it using this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...no-splicing-no-bending-100-reversible.309407/
I was the cleanest way and very easy to go back to stock if needed

Here is my post what I did:

In my 2015 tacoma I didn't have the A/C relay so I removed the female connectors out of the back of relay housing. The red with black stripe wire of the fog relay and the blue with white stripe of the air pump heater relay. I then used new female connectors and crimped the blue with white stripe wire and an in line fuse wire for the air pump heater relay. Then crimped the other end of the in line fuse wire and used that for the fog relay. Finally I capped the red with black stripe wire and moved it to the side. Works great clean look. See pics below.
