I am almost certain that Toyota uses the same fog lights (the actual lamps) interchangeably on all their vehicles, including their Lexus brand. The following diagram is designed for use with the 2006-2010 Toyota Yaris OEM-style aftermarket fog light kits (but will work with any aftermarket OEM-style fog light kits designed for the Toyota Yaris, 2010-2012 Prius, Prius C, Highlander, Rav4, Matrix, Camry, Scions, etc.). The installation guide is also compatible with the earlier 2010-2011 Toyota Prius models, minus the fog light bezel step which the 2012+ models lack the wiring instructions will be identical. The guide will include swapping out the radiator sub-assembly grille, mounting the fog lights, installing the switch wire harness, installing the fog light wire harness, testing and aiming. The diagram is included below but a comprehensive DIY installation guide to add fog lights to a non-Five model mid cycle refreshed 2012 Toyota Prius will be made available later this week. It's positively ludicrous that kits for doing it this way aren't a thing, because removing the steering wheel for the turn signal stalk was pretty easy, all things considered, and looks and operates so much more cleanly.In writing my do-it-yourself guide for adding OEM-style aftermarket fog lights onto a 2012 3rd gen Toyota Prius Two, Three or Four (non-Five models), I prepared a diagram in Adobe Illustrator to help weekend do-it-yourselfers understand the wiring component of their fog light kit. Or, assuming for manufacturing simplicity there is already some wiring to provide the power running under the hood we need to tap into, where the hell is it? 98% of the guides we can find for this involve the damn dash switch kits. So the power is not being delivered from there? But the power must be coming from that apparatus inside somehow since the fog light fuse is located there, correct? But the bulb we had to test would not light up (bulb was tested separately and is good). Just to test before going through the trouble of going through the firewall, we tried hooking the ground up under the hood and running the power wire into that terminal repair kit pin 82998-24350 into position 8 on 2C. We have a kit that's designed to be used with an aftermarket dash switch, with the intent to remove the extraneous parts of the wiring once we're sure. I already installed the replacement turn signal stalk-fog relay clicks on audibly and dash indicator lights up with its use.īut tapping into whatever power that makes available is proving impossible. Has anyone done a similar fog light installation recently? My friend and I have had a devil of a time trying to work out the wiring situation. Patiently waiting for the PriusChat shop to fulfill and ship my order of the fog light kit (apparently all the Southeast Toyota Dealerships got notice from Toyota to discontinue these kits, as I tried buying from them via eBay/Amazon). I have a very basic understanding of circuitry and I'm thinking, if I were to power up the fog lights on an open 12V in the fuse box, would the fog light relay sense the source or would I have to tap into the relay to gain the proper switch functionality? With all that being said, I wanted to ask if any Prius v ( Lower case v, not upper case) users tried to install their fog lights in a more OEM fashion using a turn signal stalk aka Multi-Function Switch. Although, for their model, it seems as though, their relay needs to be wired up and even then, the fog light indicator doesn't like up on instrument panel (ECU issue?) Fog Lights: Install fog lights on 2010 Prius? | | PriusChat As I scoured through the forums to find out if it was possible to do a close enough OEM install without using an external relay/harness, I found the lengthy Gen 3 discussion of the fog installation. This makes me wonder if our v's were actually equipped (wired up) but just had missing pieces that would keep it dormant. I can hear the relay click and the fog light indicators turns on in the instrumental panel plus it works in relation with my low-beams turning on whether it be a direct ON position or via AUTO. I noticed when turning the fog light on, there's a working relay for it. I posted in another thread about installing a turn signal stalk that had Auto and Fog selections (84140-33202).
