I like them too. installed them shortly after I bought my LE. front bumper looks much nicer now.
got kit off ebay.

 

^ did you go with the traditional round fog light?

 

where do you suggest getting the food light? and did you install it yourself?

 

ebay has tons of fog lights for the car. do a quick search.

 

David, how hard is it to install and in the kit is there plugs to plug em in? I don't wanna splice wires and electric tape it up

well, if you have basic skills and tools it shouldn't be hard at all. I installed few fog kits, more than few radios/speakers, hid kits, removed bunch of interior panels on different cars so it wasn't hard for me at all.
if you gonna follow instructions and not planning to hide all wiring and make it look as stock it should take you couple hrs top.
you don't need to splice any wires, but will need to connect fog light harness to 12+ and ground in 2-3 places (depend on harness).

 

uggh I wish I had my own garage lolol

I'm planning HIDs and Fogs too...

Hrmmmmm

Thanks for the info David

try to find some covered parking at least or see if some shop can rent you a spot for few hrs.

 

No garage rental places in this part of California.

It is California though ppl love to sue.

Hi Gents: I bought a set of fog light kit from K2 Motor for my 2012 LE. A tech pulled the wires through the firewall and connected them to the fog light switch through a relay. The problem now is that there are a yellow wire and a blue wire that need to be tapped into the existing wires. (since K2 did not provide an installation manual, we used the instruction provided by Southeast Toyota Distributor for the wire taps) The fog light did not come on at all after T-tapping. I have noticed that there are only 4 wiring coming out from the relay, is that the problem? When the blue wire (12V) is touching other metal parts and being grounded, I could here the relay clicking. If the relay wiring is not the issue, do you have any suggestion where we can look? Thank you in advance!

don't remember exactly, installed my kit a year ago or so, but I believe yellow wire should be connected to some wire (12+) on stalk and blue one is relay trigger (12-) should be grounded to low beam or parking lights ground wire under driver kick panel.
should still have installation manual somewhere...

 

I just wired them myself to come on when my parking lights come on. I decided I did not want to run wires though the fire wall. If you hear the relay clicking I would check to make sure the 12+ is hooked up correctly.

 

How did you wire the relay to the parking lights? Any tips or pictures? i think this method would be easier than going through the firewall.

 

Many thanks for the suggestions! Let me go try them out!

 

I think I'm gonna do the wiring with the headlights as well, seems a lil easier AND less routing with the wires.

my question is how did you connect them to the head lights?

I wouldn't mind making a couple DIY tutorials as long as I can do them correct lol.

easy way to "connect" them to the headlights will be by using a 12v relay. the relay will get power from the battery and give power to the foglights only when the relay is activated when you turn the headlights on. the relay will pins 30, 85, 86, 87.
30 is the power from the battery
85 is the common ground.
86 is the trigger/switch (the headlight positive wire in the case)
87 is the positive for the foglights.

 

Here is the URL: http://toyotaofmcdonoughparts.net/products/00016-32260-toyota-camry-fog-lights-2012

For the wiring, the green/yellow (previously identified as only yellow, my bad) is tapped into the light green wire of connector I25 pin 14 (at the stalk). The blue wire is tapped into the pink wire of connector ID 3D pin 12 (I believe this one goes into the computer). As I turned on and off the low beam, I could hear the relay clicking. Thus, the relay was working as it should based on the status of the low beam. Unfortunately, the fog lights were still not functioning as the fog light switch did not even lit up.

Since this has turned into somewhat of an engineering challenge, so I pulled out the relay behind the kick panel and checked the wiring. (Note that there is another relay that is in the engine compartment with its own fuse, ground wire and is hot (red) wired to the battery) The wiring of the relay inside the passenger compartment is as the following:
30-green/yellow
85-blue
86-Red + Red (one connects to fog light switch and one connects to the battery)
87-(empty)
87A-black

The fog light switch has three wires (black/red/yellow)
the black wire connects to 87A,
the red wire is one of the red wires connecting to 86,
the yellow wire extends through the firewall into the engine compartment

I used a circuit checker, grounded to a metal frame of the car, to check the wires while the car key was OUT. The other red wire that came through the firewall and connected to 86 of the inside relay showed a positive voltage. What surprised me was that as I put the circuit checker probe on the black wire of 87A, the fog light switch actually lit up (just the panel light). I think I effectively grounded the fog light switch there. I suspect that the switch is the broken link? Now the puzzles for me are (1) does the fog light switch need to be grounded and how (2) why is 87 of the relay empty? can that be the place for a ground wire? (3) Is it just a bad fog light switch ?

Sorry for the long post. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

if the switch is in the mixture it's gotta be grounded I believe.

I don't think the switch would be ground. Its simply allowing current to pass through to the relay.

 

This is what I have, I see the two red wires coming from the relay and switch. If I just tap into the fuse box, would that be enough power for the foglights?

 

you will need a relay. the wire that is on the relay that works as a "switch" should be connected to the positive side of the parking light wire.

85 is the ground which can be ran to the battery or any ground point
86 is what you want to wire into the parking light positive side.
87 is the power to the fog lights
30 is the power from the battery.
