    so thanks to all your help guys, i am finally ordering my fog lights and zombie lights rocker switch to install on my 07 taco that doesnt have fogs. i checked under the bumper and i have the pigtails, and i took out the first blocked switch cap (for fog lights) and i have the 4 prong wire harness there, so heres what i ordered, also since the wiring is already in the truck, will i need to buy a relay or will the one that comes in this kit fit in the relay box? or will i need to hook it up seperately?

    just had a break in the rain outside, i do not have a relay in the fog spot, so im wondering if the relay supplied with this kit will fit in? i hope so, if not i guess ill have to get one from the dealer.. the kit i bought says direct oem fit so..

    How did you figure out which wires from the factory switch (4 wires) went to which of the 3 terminals on your rocker switch?

    ok so heres what i did.

    first ran the switch wires (2 green, a black and a blue) through firewall.

    took white power wire to + on battery.

    took both black wires (one for fogs, one for relay and ran to - battery)

    took green (ignition wire) and ran it to my parking light driver side green wire.

    then i tried it with the switch they sent with kit. didnt work. found the relay was a kind of flimsy housing and i bent the power in tab, fixed that ok.

    so my otrattw switch is a spdt switch, it has 5 terminals.


    heres the link for the paper that came with my switch.
    http://www.otrattw.com/wiring/J66a.pdf

    first i put my black wire (-) on #8, and jumped it to # 7 like the diagram says. its for led illumination.

    then i took the blue wire and put it on the # 3 terminal.

    then there are 2 green wires, i took a chance and put them on #2 for power in, and #6 for the other led, tried it and everything works fine!!
