Corolla foglights on an 03 LE

[Corollaized]

I am installing a set of factory fogs, I bought the lamps from a private party. I am wondering if the wiring harness is prewired for the fogs. and they are just tucked some where? Or do I need to run the wiring myself.

Also if any of you guys have a good resource for a foglight switch, either factory or not.

If I do need to run my own wiring it is no big deal.

Thanks for any help ahead of time.

you'll need a relay for them to work to their full potential.
you can purchase a remote foglight kit and it comes with everything in the kit to wire them ...no drilling involved

So where did you buy the fog lamps?

i paid 110 shipped, they are BRAD NEW comes with awesome switch and wire harness that fits the oem foglight plug in the back of the OEM foglights ... then you could use the harness and sell the altis lamps on ebay if you didnt need em.

I found them on Ebay for $100.....
As Paul Harvey says here's the rest of the story..


Whew,
I finally got them in, here is the clencher. My 03 should on all accounts have the wiring harness there ready to hook up. With only a fog light swith/headlight switch that is swapped out for the headlight swith ony stalk. ($165) for the switch. But no that would make it much too easy LOL...I had a Toyota machanic look for the harness also.. I am thinking maybe I have part of an '02 harness.....all I know is that this car does not have the harness for foglights.

The fogs fit perfect in the opening....

Here is what I had to do....I bought two fog light connectors from Toyota hoping that I would get some wired pigtails coming out of the connectors....No such luck....if the wiring harness is damaged they will not repair it...only replace it.....now what do I do. I talked to the Toyota parts, and a mechanic to see if they had the metal ends that clamp on to the wires and fit in the connector.......parts did not offer anything...however toyota has a kit that dealers purchase for those ends.......They did not have the correct ends......Now what do I do.....Parts stores do not offer any...thought maybe Chevy dealer would have a wire terminal kit..because of the toyota affiliation they did but none of the right sizes.

I went to a salvage yard found a 2002 toyta corolla with not much left of it, The back end of it was cut off.......I know someone is driving around in a '02 with a weld bead around the circumferance of the car just behind the drivers seat.

Found some wired ends, and a fuse box with relays that were perfect for the fogs according to the parts list on the 03. I wired the fogs using the heaviest wires endsI obtained from the junked 02.

Brought the wires into the fuse block and wired them to the correct poles of the relays. I wired it according to the wiring diagram for the 03-04. Then I found a small lighted button toggle that fit on the accesory panal near the alarm mic (or change holder) just left of the steering wheel. I then had to tap into the Green-orange wire coming from the daytime running light relay, and run that to the toggle switch.

With all that, done...the fogs work great....turn off when your highbeams are on. Turn off with the lowbeams when the car is turned off. I opted with the toggle switch knowing that if I wanted to drop $165 later I could.

All the wiring was soldered and schrink tubed and wire loomed, the foglight conector wires were sealed with clear silicone sealant.

Not the easiest task I have done but a good afternoon project.
