    does anyone know where to buy the factory wiring harness for the fog light switch? i have a factory switch with 4-pins but the plug on the harness is 6-pins. i'm not sure if i need an adapter or just remove the pins from the harness and plug directly into the switch.

    hello again sir!

    i got a factory switch directly from toyota. there are 2 "blanks" on my truck which behind each one there is a plug. one is green and the other is black. this wouldn't be a problem except the guy at toyota tells me that there isn't another switch but the plugs are 6-pin and i need a 4-pin plug.

    ok so i'm assuming that the solid green wire is the power and the green & white is the ground. am i right?

    sorry about this, i'm just starting getting into the wiring of everything. the only thing i know how to do is radio and speakers. lol

    i gotcha. i'm looking at the diagram you sent to me a week or so ago that shows the 4-pin factory switch. sorry if i'm bugging you man but i just don't want my truck to explode! ya know?


    pin 1 = i will plug the solid green wire into
    pin 2 = i will plug the green & white wire into
    pin 3 = power from the fog relay
    pin 4 = ground for the switch.


    this is my problem. i have three wire plugged into the kc light switch: the ground wire (for the illumination), the power wrie (which plugs into pin 3), and another wire (which i think comes from the relay on the lights)

    i just want the siwtch to light up when my lights are on (head lights i mean) and the fog lights to work when i push the switch. nothing fancy ya nkow since these are sim lights and are only off road use.
