    Dealer under coating. OEM Tacoma bed mat, Weather tech mud flaps and Window Deflectors. Also added bed lights and switch.
    Question is should the add a tap be plugged into an always on circuit or to a keyed only one. Or is there already a fuse designated for the fog lights?
    Thanks!

    Ok, terminal 30 of the relay should go directly to the battery with a fuse inline as close to the the battery as possible. The terminal 85 or 86 (control side of the relay should also be fused if not already protected by the car) and should only be connected to source thats hot on low beam only, that way they turn off with the truck and turn off with high beams. More questions? fire away I'd be glad to help.

    EDIT: Looking at the harness on the site, put connection 1 to battery B+ and connection 6 to a low beam feed. If your looking for a low beam feed let me know.
    Connection 6 is a very low draw circuit so you could technically use a fuse tap and use the parking lamp fuse to power up that switch or find the fog lamp fuse slot (owners manual!) and see if it's only hot w/ key on and low beams on.

    Is it identified as low beam feed on the fuse block inside the cab or in the engine bay?

    Ok I think it is fuse #3 in the engine bay.

    Doesn’t “Connection 6” just power the light in the switch?
