Ok. Since nobody knew how to do the fog lights mod... I went ahead and did it myself with success. So here is the DIY if you want do the mod.

The tools you need are:
1. Short philips head screwdriver
2. Wire cutter with crimp tool
3. 1 tap in squeeze connector
4. 1 female and 1 male connector
5. Lighted fuse/power tester
6. Electrical tape
7. box cutter or razor blade
8. needle nose pliers
9. 1 foot of power wire (12 -14 gauge)

Steps:
1. Take off engine covers. (front and driver side)
2. Remove driverside fuse box cover.
3. Remove screw that holds washer fluid tube for easy access.
4. Remove backcover of driverside parking/drl light.
5. Remove parking light bulb from housing.
6. At fuse box locate and cut green with red stripe wire right in the middle.
7. At fuse box locate and cut lime green with silver rings wire right in the middle.
8. From wireloom side strip both the green with red stripe and lime green with silver ring wires and crimp together into one female connector.
9. Take extra power wire and connect one end with male connector.
10. Connect male and female connectors together.
11. Locate green power wire from parking light harness.
12. Use box cutter to cut rubber sleeve for easy access to wires.
13. Connect other end of extra power wire to green power wire of parking light harness using the squeeze connector. Make sure to have good connection.
14. Turn on parking lights for test. If your connections are good then your fogs should work whenever your parking lights are on.

Note: This will render your fog light switch disabled.

Proper 350,
That is very cool indeed. I would consider this primarily for the fact that it works with high beams too- Thanks for the informative writeup

Hmm, i sort of want to do this. I wish there was a way to just flip them on whenever you'd like without projectors on.

Very nice.

Is there any easy solution to fog lights on without headlights or city lights on?

with this mod the fogs are connected to parking lights so whenever parking lights are on the fogs are.1st notch fogs/parking/drls are on WITHOUT low beam projectors

not sure of an easy solution but i would think you would have to run fogs to a separate relay and switch..

Phiber

Just wondering, why would you want parking light on with fog lights compared with fog lights on with out other lights?

i think it looks better that way...i dont think it looks as good with fogs on alone and i didnt want to add an extra switch

theres a way to do it and still have your fog switch work.

I've done it on other cars. the foglight relay used the headlight power as a signal so if you can locate this wire on the relay and reroute it to the parking light, it will allow you to operate the fog lights with the switch when the parking lights are on.

Can someone look up the wiring diagram on the Toyota Tech site

ISFHAHA

Is there any way we can turn off the fogs any time we want ? Or it will stays on when DRL are on ?

This is the integrated control unit with the foglight relay. One of those wires is connected to the headlight circuit. We just need to figure out which one it is and route that wire to the parking light circuit and we can get the fog lights to come on with parking lights via the switch.
