There is a diy with step by step instructions with pictures on a black gen 6 that is very clear do a search.

I installed them and the switch stays on in the engine compartment and the relay is wired to the lowbeam fuse.

I put the switch and relay in a baggie and taped it up.

Works great !

the thread is called 2007 camry V6 foglight instalation

Go to search threads and type "install fog" and it will come up about 6 down the list.

Hope you found it.

I put the relay and switch in front of the battery under the plastic guard for a much cleaner install.

Ghettotastic. Seriously, WTF? A baggie? The relay is most likely a Bosch model designed for external mounting, and you don't need the switch if you're going to run them off your lowbeams.

Dear Junior

I live on a boat 52 feet long not near the ghetto.

While the relay may be designed to be weatherproof it is not a Bosch but a lower quality unit the switch is definately not waterproof and there are multiple wires going to it.

I could cut up the harness and redesign the circut I was not sure if later I would run the harness through the firewall and use the switch.

But thank you for your input.

nope. get a different switch and run it independently. Because there will be times when u want to turn on ur fogs without lowbeams. btw, get a different switch. that switch cracks easily with heat. Give it about a week before it starts deteriorating.

mounting is easy. just take off ur front bumper and ull see it urself..

i don't have pics of the foglight switch. i have a new PIAA switch though. the one that came with it cracked in 5 places.

ha shoulda txted me or whatever i would of have helped u and showed u what i did...

1stly i had the fogs tapped into the low beams so whenever the lowbeams are on, the fogs are on, simple procedure, soldering involved (for good secure support)

2ndly, after itching to make things OEM, went out and bought the XLE/SE headlight stalk with fog switch, bought the fog relay, installed everything myself and BAM, good as new, a LOT brighter than the 1st procedure and i get to use the factory fog harness' that came preinstalled w/ my car, was very pleased
