Default How to Turn on Fog Lights on a 1993 SC400?

I just bought my first ever SC400. MY first ever Lexus car.
I got minor work to do on it but it's still beautiful.

I'm trying to figure out how to Turn on the Foglight on it.
I've been searching for answers on this forum but I can't find any answers.

a User here on this forum by the name of sharingan said:
"I believe 92-94 didn't have fogs but had corner lights. It turns on when you turn on your signals. 95 and up had fog lights."

I went and used the turn signals but the fog lights were still not turning on
Does someone here on this forum have a 1991-1995 SC400 that have experienced trying to turn on this fog lights? or a switch maybe that I've been trying to look on the turn signal lever...

Every new person should be required to look through a thread that tells them about their car. They are NOT fogs, they are TURN lights. The End.

they are corner lights, they only turn on when you have your headlights on and your turn signal on.

Ahh!! Thank You.

Haha when I was putting the turn signal on, I was doing it without the headlights on.

Thanks Alot, Now I know that these are cornering lamps.

I HAVE TO! Convert These into Fog Lights.


jvsc300, Thanks for the Conversion Guide

FYI...if you do decide to turn them into 'fog' lights, they will be aimed outwards and illuminate the curbs...totally pointless and a little ghetto.

Signaling to turn and having it appear like one of your fog lights is burned out is more ghetto imo.

Um no, a proper fog light conversion done with reflectors to act as blinders in the housings and HID's like mine can light up the road better than OEM 97 fogs.
