    You have an open short somewhere. BTW, don't upgrade to a higher fuse trying to solve a short. You're just asking for trouble...as in burnt wiring and fried relays.

    Well I received the Piaa 5454's today. Also bought the Piaa 540 plasma fogs. I swapped the plasma fogs for the driving lights in the 5454 bracket assembly, I'll use the driving lights on my Avid bar. The install wasn't as easy as i had hoped... Was going to take pictures, but ended up just being lucky to get it done at all... The main problem was getting the screws to line up on the back side of the lamp bracket. The 540 lamp is actually to large for the stock hole, so it kind of sticks out. this is where i ran into trouble, because i just jammed it in too far, and couldn't get things to line up. Overall, I'd rate them a 6/10, if a 10 is a perfect, easy, stock looking install.

    Thanks for the advice. I'll have to take a look this Friday. Hopefully I won't have to take the entire bumper off!

    Keep you posted.

    Thanks again.

    I have a 2006 Tacoma that didn't come with fog lights and after a lot of searching and researching I have found out that any 4 cylinder engines don't come with fog lights and are not wired. If you have a 6 cylinder that didn't come with fog lights it will have the wiring already there.
