Talking gen5 camry fog light question (2003)

hey everyone, I just bought a fog light kit on ebay. it comes with wire harness, switch, relay etc. But I know my car (03 Camry LE) is prewired, so I can just plug the bulbs in without problem, but how do I wire the switch and relay to the factory wires?
And also, where is the factory fog light relay suppose to be, I know it's in the relay and fuse box by the battery, but which specific one?

Thanks!

go to techinfo.toyota.com, it's a database from Toyota corporation that has all the info for these cars but is intentionally designed to take a long time to use. (there were over 600 unique files just for my car!!) this is probably the only place to get the new info relatively quick and easy. If you really wanna do this right, research the removal and installation procedures for the combination switch because the gen5 have the fog sw. right on the turn signal/headlight handle. also consider purchasing the 05500-98??? oem toyota factory fog light switch if you can't afford changing out the combination switch. good luck

there is also suppost to be a different turn lever with it to cause my se hase fog lights and the turn signal lever has a little switch on it to turn the fog lights on and off with the regular lights (they come on when i turn my lights on), the only way u could get away with that is if u wire them differently and use a relay to activate them when the headlights r on

yeah, the stock fog light has the switch on the turn signal/head light stalk, I wanted to control the fog lights separately, but if I have to, I will just tap into the headlights and control everything together with the headlight switch. If anyone else has experience or ideas, please share. Thanks!

I will try to trace the stock fog light wires that came in the car and see where it leads to...hope this whole thing won't turn out to be a royal pain...not to mention I got cut out the bumpers cause for 03, toyota didn't use the pop-out panel for the bumpers, everything is one piece.

im not exactly sure what relay, but your gonna need one that has a dual power (with some fuses before the relay, not sure what size) in and dual power out (goin to the fog lights) with a another that is the input from the switch so it turns on (the fog light) with the lights.
im cant explain it worth a crap, but i know what i mean, its just hard to translate from my brain to words, lol.
sry, ill try and help explain if u have questions (i know u will, lol)

Just got the fog light kit today. seems pretty easy to wire, except for there's one wire I have no idea what it is for. It's a green wire and it's already been stripped. Black is ground, red is power, blue is for the switch, but what's green? anyone know? Thanks!
