2010 HL Base Model Project #1

[williamq]

Hi Everyone
Just got my 2010 HL v6 4x4 base model with Extra Value Package #2. Now I have a long todo list. First is Carpet Mats, very simple, go to trdparts4u.com order the PT919-48080-22. I compared it with other sites and believe they have the best price. (weathertech is another option but I read complaints said that it's not safe, gas pedal will get stuck on the edge...)

Second is the fog light, This will be my first real project. I found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...Q5fAccessories

Is there anyone installed this before? How difficult to install it? Will the side LED block the air intake on the driver side?

Thank you very much.

Do a search. The following should be the most detailed thread about fog light

nothing wrong with weathertech, doesnt even come close to getting stuck in the gas pedal. Whatever you read is incorrect!

These foglights are very cool.

I have weathertech digifit in my HL and absolutely no problems at all..

i just installed these about two months ago and they work great, only problem is that they come with next to no install instructions but if you have a basic knowledge of wiring then you can do it. i also bought one to many sets so if still need a set then i can sell you my other set a little cheaper then ebay. and for the air intake problem i just removed the leds on both sides, they come out with four scres each.

Thanks everyone.
I will order thoese fog lights and install them next week. For air intake issue, I hope it's ok as I don't tow at all and I do notice there are other holes under it.

Thanks. But I have placed my order.

Just got my new fog light set. Does anyone know where I should connect the 2 pin power wire of the side LED? I am planning to use the pre-wired harness instead of the one come with the light set.
Thanks

Just installed the fog lights during the past weekend. Not a easy job as I installed them from the top by using hands and without looking at anything down there. (I was too lazy to take off anything). Then I took off the steering wheel column and connected PIN 3 and 4 together. Unfortunately, when I start my 2010 US build highlaner, nothing happened.
The fog light relay is not there. (Instrument panel fuse box or engine fuse box? they are both empty)
I need a 4 pin toyota relay now.

BTW, KDHL, Thank you for your help.

Mine is 2008 Japan made Highlander. I just installed the lights and connected the two wires. The fog lights work fine. But I don't know whether that's with or without relay.

Finally, It's done. Looks awesome.
I bought a new relay from a local store for 40 bucks. Not cheap. May be I should get a used one from ebay, but this project has been taken for too long. So I just get it and insert it into instrument panel relay box. Again, not a easy area to reach as I didn’t take off panel trim.
