Missing one of the fog lights? I saw there was two smaller Toyota boxes in there. Did yours have those or was something missing inside the those boxes?

Just have a quick question here regarding the stalk. I'm currently living in Asia so I have the hybrid IS300H F Sport. My car has rear fog light stock so everytime I turn it on, the Fsport gauge will tell me graphically I have turned it on along with the orange "foglight" light on the dash lit up. Will installing this stalk also brings back the messasges for the front fog lights on/off on the gauge?

Thanks

I have a question, I'm thinking of doing this al well but using an aftermarket switch instead of the stalk. Question is, how is the wiring done on this case so the switch acts like the stalk. I want the fogs to go on when the headlights go on. In fact, if is up to me, I would just wire them directly so the fogs turn on every time the headlights are on.

Does anybody has any details on how to do this?

Thanks.

I have the same question. I'm suspecting that since it's run through an aftermarket harness, it bypasses the car's computer which controls all the lighting system and gives visual indication through the dash.

Hey folks,

I just installed mine and have some good news to report.

First of all, if you have the hybrid model IS300H F sport without foglight, you're in luck because there are OEM plugs behind the bumper.

Secondly, the stalk provided in the kit will also make the gauge cluster message shows up when turned on. So basically, if you have the IS300H F Sport, you do not need the Nigel harness at all and everything is plug and play.

Here are some pictures.

If i were choosing option "1" in the Nigel JDM Parts site,

I see it includes the Fog light cover, but does that also include the actual Fog light housing?(For a incomplete install just missing wiring harness and stalk?)

If not, what is the point of purchasing option "1" if it only provides the Foglight cover?

I got my car yesterday and left it for dealer to install it and now they are telling me 4 hours to install the LED fog lights and stalk. They said they have to remove the bumper and steering wheel and just that is normally 3.5 hours. They also said 2 hours to change the puddle lights to LED! Any other suggestions on how to get LED Fog light and stalk installed In MN? If I cant' get it installed I may need to return this kit....

LOL 2 hours to change puddle lights to LED? I did it in under 30 min taking my time. Find a place that wont rip you off. JoeZ even says its only 2 hours for full install with everything
