Default this how

main realy for the fog is tirggerd to close the fog circuit when power is applied to the healamp lowbeam circuit. I simply open the harnes on the driver side running to fuse block, probed to the right wire, cut, and supplied power fromt the parklight circuit

Hello,

I believe the wire you are referring to is the Red-Yellow wire going to the Front Fog Relay in the engine fuse box. Attached is the lexus wiring diagram.

Default Fog Lights anytime at will

Wilder.....

These instructions are for the GS, but should be similar to the GX. This modification will allow you to turn on the Fog Lights anytime at will.

Default Yes

i do have park lights only if need, the fog lights opperate as the did before except i can turn them on with the park lights.
Yes it is the red wire with a yellow tracer. THOUGH! there are 2 red/yellow wires running to the fuse block.

#2 terminal for the fog relay is what you need. pull the realy, probe #2, then prob either red/yellow wire. When you find the right one, cut it in half. Side leading back into cab, tape and seal, put away. The other end leading back into the block, connect a wire to it, then i taped in the power side of the small peanut bulb by the orange drl bulb.

Default um

cab., short for cabin, inside vehicle, interior space, drivers seat...........


connect "splice"(better?) a lead of wire the other end of the cut wire, with a butt-connector, scotch lock, solder and heat srink tube, twist the ends and tape it, what ever you prefer..
then splice the lead wire into your chosen power source

you should have some knowledge of automotive electronics and wiring before trying this. you cut the wrong wire, splice to the wrong power source..... have fun explaining to the dealer what your doing.
