    so i have a 2013 trd sport and i have the OEM fog lights that are installed and have the stock harness but there’s no switch in my cab. Should i just require it or try and figure out where the original wire is? I just want my fog lights to work lol. Thanks in advance!!

    The Sports all came with fogs, so you are wired for it. You likely just need the switch. What does the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel above the pocket drawer look like? Your fog switch goes in the upper left location on that panel.

    There’s nothing there. That’s what’s confusing me. I have the relay and everything but no switch. And i don’t know where the wire is for the switch.

    So you have a blank in the switch spot? Pop it out, there should be the wiring behind it. Then all you need is the OEM switch.

    To the left of the steering wheel there should be 2 rows of three black rectangles, as @crashnburn80 said it should be the top row on the left (closest to the driver door). The plug for the switch will be behind the little black rectangle, use a pick and pull it out from the bottom. Just get a switch, aftermarket or OEM and plug it in.

    Think he may need a relay as well.

    He has a Sport though. Assuming it is a real sport, they all came with fogs, meaning someone removed the switch. So he should still have the relay unless that was removed too. The other option is it is a fake Sport, and didn't come with fogs, in which case yes he would need the relay.

    I popped everything out and there’s no plug behind the dash. It’s a real sport. I’ll just have to take the full dash apart!

    My '13 SR5 came with wiring but no relay. Canada though, could be different.

    Right but the SR5 didn't come with fogs like the Sport did, or at least they were optional on the SR5.

    That is really bizarre.
