Nebie to this website and Toyota,s

Hi. My name is Jerry Moore form the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area. I have 2 Corvair Corsa's...
One is a 66 Corsa turbocharged 180 horse convertible. One of 68 factory turbocharged convertible's known to exist, The other is a 65 Corsa 140 horse convertible. They are both show quality cars and run like the day they were made.
I'm 66 years old and an 8 year US NAVY veteran where I done 3 tours on an aircraft carrier in the Tonkin Gulf. A member of what was jokingly called the Tonkin Gulf yaught Club. My Son is an officer in the NAVY on a Nuclear Submarine, which brings me to how I got a Toyota Tacoma. Myson bought a 2013 regular cab 4 wheel drive. A basic 4 cylinder 5 speed. It does have the fancy 6 bolt wheels and factory fog lights. Being on a submarine he never put many miles on it. The little truck has a tad over 21,000 miles. He got it in his head he wanted something a little sportier. He bought a 2017 Subaru WRX. Ask me if I would be interested in buying his Tocoma?
Made me a good deal on it since it was paid off. I sold my 2006 Dodge ram 1500 fully loaded quad cab truck and my 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer since I didn't need big trucks anymore. I have a fog light question if someone would please tell me where to post it. Thanks for your time Jerry.

Oh and hi. What's ur question on the fog light?

 

HI. I was looking for the fog light relay. I had my wife turn the fog lights on and off. I heard a relay clicking. It is held to the wiring harness behind the battery by zippy ties. It has 4 slots. 1 has 3 red wires going to it. A fat red one, and 2 thin red wires. Has a single red wire across from it. They are hot all the time, even with the lights off. But when I turn the key off, they are no longer hot. Has 2 blue wires running to the fog lights. And last it has a grey wire with a red wire that is going to the one with the 3 wires I mentioned. If I ground the grey wire with a test light, the fog lights come on. I traced the grey wire, the fat red wire and a small red wire into the cab. They are going down behind the left kick panel. I want to wire them so I can turn them on with out the low beam head lights on. It started to rain really hard so I stopped. I wanted to pull that left kick panel off and see where they go from there.

 

There should be a switch/ knob on the turn signal switch. But I believe by law u can not have fog lights on when the hi beams are on. The reason why they go off when u put the hi beams on.
But all u have to do is run the relay to a button/ switch in the cab and all done.

 

I understand. I would like to use the factory fog light switch that is already in the dash if I can. The police never bothered me when my 2006 Dodge quad cab or my 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer was being driven with just the fog lights on like driving lights. They both passed inspection also. I would turn them off at the factory switch before I took them in for state inspection. Never ask me about them.

 

Then there should be a wire that sees the hi beams come on.
