aftermarket fog light problems

hello, i have a 2012 tacoma prerunner and i decided to put some fog lights on it. it didn’t come with any but it did come with the wiring for it. i wired up the switch correctly but i’m still not able to get the lights to turn on. does any know anything that would help me?

thanks

Do you have a test light? Do you have power at the switch? Do you have power at the relay? Did you add the relay? If so, do you have power at the light(s)?

 

i have a test light and power at the switch but i never checked to see if i have a relay or if it’s working. also the lights aren’t working.

 

Maybe u just need the relay. It doesn't come with 1 from the factory. Hopefully thas all u need

 

i’ll check it out, but if i do need one do you know if autozone or oriellys or any other chain stores would have it or would do need to order it?

 

Not really sure but here the part. Found it on an old message. As long as it's compatible it should work

 

Well need more information.
You say it was wired for it. But what fog lights are you installing?
I’ve not seen any kit that doesn’t use a relay.
Also, most aftermarket kits run power from the switch to relay.
Toyota use the switch to ground the relay.
If you are using the factory switch and wiring, this could be your problem.

 

If you didn’t cut the factory connector off for the switch, get a factory switch and relay, also dis you use the factory connectors at the fogs? There really was no reason to remove any of the factory connectors if you did. There are plenty of switches and harness that plug and play the fogs if prewired.

 

it’s a factory style fog light, but i only got the lights not a full full harness for it. i specifically ordered one that was made to be used with that factory wiring and i never removed/installed any connectors.

 

If the wiring is all there.
You need the switch, the relay, the lights, and the fog light fuse.
Do you have these all installed?

 

i have everything but i’m not entirely sure about the relay i haven’t had the chance to check yet.

 

It would be located here.

 

This is on my 2015 prerunner. Fog relay is the top one.

 

Fog fuse is the 15a

 

If you’re using the factory harness, you might have to have the headlights on to work the fogs.

 

Should be bottom one...

 

Yep. My bad it is the bottom one.

 

thanks to all of you guys i figured it out. in order for the fog lights to turn on yes the headlights do need to be on and it didn’t come with a relay. i got one put in and made sure all the wiring work and now my truck looks 10x better than before so thanks to all of you for helping.
