Got my self some female/male pin connector from left over Toyota wire harness from the recalls. I wont be using the switch/harness that come with the kit since im going to use the new stalk that have the fog light switch on it. but if the female/male pin I got don't fit I got some oem wire harness repair kit at work that I didn't take a picture of. i'll be letting you guys know what part # pin to tap into the relay integration box and the ecu.

I got a question to the people installed this, do I use back the old stalk connector to plug it in the new one? or do it come with a new connector with the new stalk?

New stalk does not come with any connector, you have to use existing plug to modify new switch pins.

Really dislike how Lexus made the fog lights optional on the newer models, but there are other options aside from the good ol' halogen bulbs. We offer the LED Morimoto fog lights, which is a direct replacement to the OEMs.

took 8 hrs cause we were trying to figure out why its not working and I look back at the diagram and we forgot to add a wire to the stalk connector to the ground and looking at wheres the ecu connector at since TIS don't tell where connector except saying its white so we have to look at each connector and see match the wire color to know. if you have any question let me know i'll try to answer it.
