    Hi. I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a toyota tacoma 2013. I purchased a pair of aftermarket foglights. Its a complete kit with the lights and everything (relay etc). If someone could walk me through on how to wire it or just give me an idea. (My tacoma is not pre-wired). Please. Thanks im advance.

    Not sure exactly how your kit is wired up, but the basics will be: Hot wire to battery, ground to battery, mount the relay some where under the hood, run the fog light connectors down to the fog lights, run the part of the harness with the switch into the cab. There is a large grommet on the drivers side by the brake master cylinder. The hood release cable passes through that grommet as well. What I do, is take a metal coat hanger and push it through the grommet from inside the truck, under the dash. Once its poked through, tape my wires to the other end, then pull it through. Then all you have to do is fish it up to the hole where you'll plug the switch in.

    Thanks for that tip! I'm going to run a power cable to the rear of my truck for a slide in camper. This will save me from making a new hole.
