If yours is a gen 3.5 (your username has 95 in it so I'm taking a guess) you can just mount them under the license plate area.. There's a nice big space and the wires can run behind with plenty of space.

I put my foglights there. I had some PIAA Solitaire 001 Plasma Ion (yellow) foglights but the relay or whatever got wet and the switch stopped working. I went to WalMart, got some new ones (these are better cuz it's a whiter light, with a wider beam) and my cousin put them in. The switch was very hard to find a place for because the back of the switch wasn't flat like the PIAA switch. Soooo my switch looks ghetto because it's not mounted anywhere

Check out my sig and you can see where I put mine
There is a nice piece of reinforcement for the bumper that you can drill into to mount them. And if you get ones similar to mine, that will also act as the ground.

For wiring, I wired the hot into my corner lamps. I had removed the bulbs from them previous because it gives it a cleaner look. So now my fog lamps come on with my parking lights, without any mess switch installation

As for switches, depending on the gen of car, there are usally "blanks" in the dash where factory fog light switches would have been placed. Any time I go to install fog lights on one of my cars that don't have them factory, I'll go junkyarding and find an OEM style switch that matches the rest of the car. In a gen2 Camry I used a 4WD center differential switch for the fogs. Looked like it belonged there, no ghetto to it. (Switch came from AllTrac Camry)

The only place that seems to be a mount for a switch on the Gen 3/3.5 Camry is actually covering a bolt for the dash. So it isn't very useful. You pretty much have to cut to mount a switch, or wire it into your headlights like I wrote about above.

My placement is in my sig. I used to have them hooked up to a switch that was in a pocket at the bottom-right of the steering (pics in the link in my sig). Good Luck!

i've got a little switch for my (rear) fog lights, i figure the plaque where it's mounted should be the same on other camry's, you could use that to mount a switch.


just under the left air vent


*edit*
came across a better pic

I got my driving lights (thing are hella bright and they also came with parking/turn signals in them)placed right beneath myfront plate. My lights wired into the parking lights and the singals in them come on w/ the park lights and then there's the actual switch which conrtols the lights and that is mounted near to the compartment to the left of the steering wheel. Check out my page to see it.

Hey SmokingTires I gotta try taking out my park lights and see how it looks. Right now i hate the color of my bubls in there. I have some blue bulbs in ther because i hate the brownish color i get w/ regular ones and i hate orange bulbs, but the blue ones lose their color so I'm gonna just take them out and see how i like it that way.
