![]() ![]() 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. 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. That will POWER the relay trigger when you turn on the switch, the relay will then ground the factory fog relay trigger sending 12V from the 15A Fog fuse to the Fog lights.I posted in another thread about installing a turn signal stalk that had Auto and Fog selections (84140-33202). Term 30 will go to the wire going to the switch on the stalk, Black with Red stripe. The wire from #3 on the switch will go to Term 85 #3 will go to the NEW Bosch type Relay that you add. So basically you would need a 12V power source(Not available at the factory switch), preferably tapped in to the green/white wire going to the Fog Relay, and connect that to #2 on the switch. Again, not very hard, but it helps if you have an idea what the goal is. ![]() You could use that switch if you add a relay. That set up is designed to switch power, the Toyota setup is designed to switch ground. Well that is a horrible diagram, tells you how to wire the lights, but not the load, but that doesn't matter. I've done audio wiring before so it can't be that hard. OR I can do things another way, whatever works. That way, the battery is already wired in the proper sequence. My rudimentary understanding led me to think that.since it's hooked up to the factory harness, I'd just splice the harness under the steering column (whichever wires it is) and put that to the switch. (gray wire) Wire 1 is ground, just accept it lol :wink. Yellow position 3 to fog lights or relay ( in this case ground) red position 4 Connect from 12v power source. The last pic on the page has a diagram of it. Red position 2 Acc+ this wire provides illumination to the fog light symbol in the switch. ![]()
