Just use a fuse tap. Why would you want to connect it to the tail light fuse? If you do it that way, you can only run the fog lights with the parking lights or low beams on. If you tap into the 12v accessory fuse, you can run the fog lights completely independent of everything. Very simple that way.

 

If anyone still reads this thread; i tried going about it today, but for the life of me could not get a quick disconnect to plug into the slot for prong 2. 3 & 4 went in without trouble. Ideas?

Thanks!

finally did it!! ..here the look i have been wanting for:
I had to thank speedkar9 for his help. Without his simple mod i never could have done it

 

I bought a 2000 es300 a few months ago and did this mod and it works great for keeping the foglights on. My problem is that when I turn on headlights or they come on auto the fogs turn off, they are only on with drls. Is there something I am missing or is this normal I would love for them to be on with low beams also. Thanks from the Newbie

 

Can you specify which fuse you tapped into? Depending on the fuse, you may have tapped into one that has certain requirements for it to be running power

 

I tapped into lighter fuse. Never thought about that. What should I tap in to

 

I noticed other guys used lighter fuse also. But my fog light switch off when headlights come on. I really want them on with headlights.

 

Not sure if it will help at all but I'm just throwing out suggestions. Mine is hooked up to the gauge cluster fuse

 

I would love to do this on my 04 330. I want to be able to choose the DASH between Auto and ON on my switch so it turns on the fogs only.

I'm comfortable opening things up, I just don't know whether someone has already done the mod on my model.

 

I just did this mod but I removed just as fast as I did it.
I don't see the point to have fogs on all the time. I'd like to turn them off. With my switch

Also they go off once you turn your headlights on. High or low

Maybe I did it wrong but I'd like to have control of them and have them on with low beams and day time running lights

 

Is it possible to just keep the relay off and jump 2 pins on the harness side and make the fog lights stay on with the car and turn off with the car ?

 

Bump for a question. The above question has me worried about doing this mod. Is there a way to mod the car to be able to utilize the "Fog on / off" switch to control the fogs and fogs only at will? Thanks

 

I never ended up doing this on mine, but that was my hesitation... It's cool to be able to use the stalk, but then if its on, when I don't want them to be .... well...

My thoughts were to simply do a re-wire entirely...bypassing the OE relay entirely. Coupled to a "generic" wiring kit, like they use for light bars, and these vendors can easily match up the OE switches from other toyota's.

Sort of reinventing the wheel, but it's not a huge amount of work, the harness is dummy proofed, and you can choose wherever/whatever switch to use. The toyota-swtiched ones are few bucks more, but if you're happy with a generic, they're under 10$

 

I didn't read all of this I just want to ask does it cut out the DRL cuz I need this in my life
