Fog Lights

Hey TW,

I recently just got a pre runner bumper and it has the space to add a few more fog lights in the bumper, can I splice another set of LED fogs into the existing fog light wiring?

 

I wouldn't you would probably be drawing too much amperage off the OE harness and start blowing fuses or melting things.

New harness with larger gauge wiring and it's own relay and switch is the way to go.

That said one good pair of foglights is better than several pairs of bad ones.

I’m pretty impressed with the Cali raised amber ones so far, or maybe I just haven’t had a real pair like Baja designs...

 

Look at Diode Dynamics

 

You need to look at the total power draw of your combined fogs vs what the circuit is rated for. For example, two sets of 14.5w SS3 Sports will draw less than the stock halogens, but two sets of SS3 Pros will draw significantly more. It will highly depend on the products you are using. Also note that it is only legal to run one set of auxiliary lights at a time, meaning two sets of fogs on at once will not be street legal.

The CaliRaised product isn't a fog, it is a spot and very poor performing compared to an actual foglight. Baja's SAE fogs are also among the lowest performing options and not recommended, output intensity is lower than stock TRD halogen fogs. Diode Dynamics SAE fogs are currently the best by far. All the fogs are compared in the thread below, with links at the top for latest releases (including Baja and DD), and the thread also covers specifically why you shouldn't use CaliRaised as fog lights.
