Also is it possible to buy an OEM toyota Fog light switch and wire it up with the aftermarket kit?
Correct, just make sure you turn them off when you're done or they WILL drain the battery. The problem with my first install is they could be on any time, and I would forget to switch them off. You could either roll a window down so you don't lock the keys in, or get one of those aircraft style switchs with the cover. The kind where you flip up a cover, then flip up the switch. That would probably remind you to flip them off and prevent accidently hitting the switch when getting out.firefighter11 said:I like the idea of being able to turn them on whenever i want.. (would be handy around the cottage at night... ) but i dont always have my keys on me and i'm kinda afraid of locking the keys in there and no spare lol
would it drain my battery if i just ran the wire straight to the + post? then technicaly i would be able to turn them on anytime without the key correct?

Spare key (for those with transponder) will cost around $45 from the dealership. At least the one I bought my truck from. Cheaper idea would be get it copied at Walmart or someplace. Won't be able to start the truck, but you'll get in and retrieve your keys.rpmspeedyBlue said:
After you finish doing your mod fog lights buy a spare key along with a hide-a-key just in case you lock your keys in the truck.:lol: happy new years!!!
If you're running 55w lights (with your bumper) you should be able to just extend the stock wires and re-connect the new lights to the factory fog light system, no?Adventure North said:I installed my IPF's the way PB described above. I re-used my factory fog light switch and it worked out great.

That's what I was thinking.... Or splicing them into a relay if I ran larger wattage bulbs so I could reuse the factory switch.BillBrasky said:If you're running 55w lights (with your bumper) you should be able to just extend the stock wires and re-connect the new lights to the factory fog light system, no?
