    Hey guys I just bought an 01 Tacoma with factory fog lights that seem to be tied in to the harness. I assume someone added the bumper with the lights because there isn't a factory switch in the truck. My question is, is the fog light harness stubbed behind the dash somewhere? I've had the old straight axle trucks in about every color but this is my first Tacoma so I may be missing something completely. Any help is appreciated

    Not sure what your asking for...??

    Also are they aftermarket?? Tacomas don't come with fogs from the factory.

    Maybe you'd call em running lights. They're in the valence below the bumper. The bulbs could be blown I was only around the truck for the day I bought it I work outta town and had to leave the next day. I just assumed there would be a separate switch for em inside the cab and there's not. So I thought maybe the harness is stubbed under the dash somewhere. Unless they run with the high beams.

    actually those are your blinkers.

    the running lights, we call them markers, are in the corners where you would think the blinkers would be.

    People often relocate the blinkers to the corners or rewire the corner light to work as blinkers and turn the original blinkers into a "fog" or running light.
