2003 Fog light wiring

[JBacka]

Looking to add fog lights in my 03 CE. I read somewhere that the wiring 'might' already be there. Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
James

I just put a set I bought off Ebay and when I installed them I had to plug all the wires that came with the kit into my car, so yes some are the but you need the rest to plug in to finish the harness out to your lights and to the togle switch.

I bought this set from Ebay because I wanted the lights to fit in the stock openings in my bumper.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking at doing!

I am actually planning to do the same to my 04 Corolla,CE. however, would like to know if this process was easy to do or not? How much time did it take you to fit the lights in the car? Please let me know.
thanks

I ordered one from trendgear but doesn;t fit, then from vertex racing, fits really good. Took me about 2 hours to install them. the difficult part is running a wire from fromt he inside switch to the engine bay (30 mins.)

It took me an hour to do the install but I have done a number of them on other cars so like the other fellow said maybe two hours.

The ones I got from Treandgear fit like a glove, they just popped into place and so did the toggle.

what are prices for the foglights you guys paid?...I'm looking to put fogs on to a 2003 Corolla LE, since one of the plastic covers has gone missing...

thanks

I got mine from Ebay and it was around 100.00 shipped to the door but I'd check Ebay and see if anyone is selling the one that you need by itself, I seen a few single lights for much less when I was looking for mine.

I did this mod a couple months after buying my '04. My brother was working for Toyota at the time and he got the lights for FREE (from NAL). He sent them to me and I wired them myself.

The wiring is behind the fog lights and runs to the fuse box (underhood). I don't remember all the details, but I ran a wire to the fuse box, use the APO (Auxillary Power Outlet) in front of the shifter for ignition switchable power, and ground somewhere under the dash, if I remember.

It was easy, all except for figuring out which wires to attach to what on the switch. :o I blew a fuse or two. :o

I pulled the little piece of plastic up from under the park brake handle (mainly because I was going to take power from the APO which is not far from there). It comes out real easy. I put a small hole there and mounted the switch. Then the trim piece that the APO is on lifts up pretty easy. I can't remember the connectors (spaid maybe) I used at the APO, but all I had to do was loosen a screw, shove the connector in and tighten the screw back. That was easy. But which wire to connect is what I had trouble with.

BTW - My fogs are independent and can be switched on any time the ignition is on ... just like the APO. No need to worry about accidently leaving the fogs on. As soon as the ignition is turned off, they go off too.
