Taping fogs into parking lights?

[BenzML]

Anyone have an illustration how to tap 07 camry foglights into the parking lights? OR anything in reference to that? I searched for forums but haven't found anything I needed. Maybe I could pay someone experience to do it, how much would that cost just for the wiring?

Any feedback woud be highly appreciated, thank you. =]

I did that just 2 weeks ago on my 02 camry.

I got the fog lights of ebay. Mounted the switch into one of the slots provided beside the streeing and tapping into the "tail" lamp fuse which is in the same area. Basically held the wire with one of the legs of the fuse and plugged the fuse in. It is a nice tight fit.

I dont seem to have a spot for the switch im going to have to just rig something up and mount it somewhere "special".. but as far as taping it into the tail lamp do you have any pics?

He means taping into the fuse in the fuse box. Open the fuse box, it should be marked. If not, check the manual. If worse comes to worse, the multimeter is your friend.

I assume a relay is included in the kit? If you just want your fog lights to come on with your headlights, you can dispense with the switch and wire the relay to say the parking lamp fuse. The signal from the parking lamp will trip the relay on and off.

Well if anyone is interested, I installed my cheap aftermarket foglights. Still figuring out how I am going to wire them on my free time but heres what my outcome was if anyone is curious how they look on a 6th gen camry =]

Well, that looks good, those are the ones I'm planning to get as well. But I'm still worried about the wiring, cause I'm not good with auto electric stuff.

Did you remove the bumper to get those puppies in?

Nope, I didnt have to remove that bumper at all. You just need to remove the under bottom guard piece under the front of the car (sorry dont know exactly what its called). All you do is remove the screws (approximately 8 screws, really easy to remove) then you will have easy access to the foglights. The stock foglights covers pop right out..

MY ADVICE, be aware of those foglight covers ebay sell with the foglights, they literally dont snap/stick in at all (Its garbage). I had to rig mine so it would stick on until I buy an OEM/factory ones.


Hope this helps.

I would not do it: fog lights draw more current and you do not know what size of wiring you have. It will cost much more if you need to replace your harness.

Oh okay, I'll keep that in mind. So OEM is still the best.

Thanks.

its not hard at all to wire fog lights in a car, no worry about extra power draw as long as it is done right...i have mine wired to ACC. with no switch/button in my '11 LE so theyre on all the time.... 12 ga. wire should b more than enough, 16-14 will do too. u will need a relay of course, it will b triggered by 12 acc. from ur steering column, and power will come from either ur battery or 12v off ur steering column (steering column is easiest being that its right there with ur acc. wire) and just run the 12v output from ur relay to ur fogs and just ground the negative wire on the fogs. now if u want to use a switch, break the wire comin from the acc wire into the relay ONLY, that way u wont burn up the switch....

or u can trigger the relay from ur parking lights, but it HAS to b directly off the wire goin to the parking lights under the hood, the one on the stalk doesnt work being that the ecm times out and cuts them off,

the only problem with they way i have mine wired from the acc is when u start the car it kills power to acc. temporarily, so if u have HID's (like i do but i just dnt care) it will shorten the life of them by turning on and off twice as much.
