    IMG_0204.jpg IMG_0206.jpg Just got my hands on these Ss3 pro ditch and fog lights for the Tacoma which I’m super hyped to get installed. The question I have is how do I know if my fog lights have the backlight feature? I know the pods don’t but my fogs came with the wiring for it but the Amazon listing where I got them didn’t say if they are or aren’t. Any ideas?

    Are they all two wires from the lights when they are plugged in? Or three wires? Do the switches just have Off and On? Or Off-On-On?

    The fogs don’t have a switch since I’m just putting them in place of the old ones. I know the ditch lights don’t have the feature and the switch is just on-off. I’m confused because the t taps they gave me are for the backlight feature but I don’t know if the fogs have it
