I believe (don't quote me) they are on the steering colum left handle (the one you use to turn on your regular lights). However they have an extra knob for the fog light switch.

thanks for the reply,, i thought it was on the left side along with the TPMS, Hatch release,
if its a nob then it must be difficult to install since they need to remove the steerng wheel to in stall the new wiring unless its pre-wired..

The easiest way would be to buy the stem that includes the foglight switch.

it is rather easy to install the lights my came factory but none the less the are still easy the only hard thing is finding a switch for the fog lights wether its a toggle switch or one tht goes on the left lever of the steering column. If you are able to find a toggle switch let me know bc i am still looking for one for my trix to finish my drl set-up.

if you do not have a XR and thus do not have the switch mounted on the turn signal arm just get

Cole Hersee makes the switches for Toyota, they have one way, two way and with pilot light and with out....so a 2 way you can comtrol 2 things...I have in my XR rear fog light and 2 back up lights...both controled by one 2 way switch, they can come with a lens kit that hes diferent colored lenses for the pilot light, so when my rear fog is on it lights red and rear back up lights it is clear....

West Marine will order them to a store for no shipping,


SEE http://www.colehersee.com





http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/store...catalogId=10001

I have the : for the two rear lights...Switch - SPST, w/Lenskit & Dualpilot, On/Off, 4 Blade Cole part #58328-104-BP Only $17.99

but for one light or for cutting the DRLs only etc...Switch - SPST, w/Lenskit & Pilot, On/Off, 3Blade 58328-100-BP Only $13.99

fits in stock hole, looks great and no dealer waiting and dealer prices...
