    Hey all. I bought a new fog light switch from Tacoma Beast it has 4 wires
    2. Red
    1. Black
    1. Green
    Here is a pic of my OEM plug, how to connect?
    I called Cali raised, and they’re telling me they’ve never had a customer call them and ask him which wires to connect to???
    Anyone here have any input so I can complete this so-called simple job

    Just an FYI a heat gun on low with a plastic pry tool which I didn’t have as you can see, It will smooth out all the pry marks on the plastic

    On the truck the blue and white/black are the switch wires, the green and green/white wires are the illumination circuit for the backlight.

    @Dm93 is correct.
    The problem that arises with after market switches is that they assume are using the switch to POWER the control side of the relay.

    Toyota uses the ground to control the relay.

    Which means, you can’t use their instructions if you keep OE fog lights.
