Fog light install
You're very welcome and I'm glad that you got them installed! And impressing the wife always helps too! I too plan to use the wiring harness that came with my kit.
What did you use for a switch? Did you use the blank on the dash in the lower left? How did that go? I'm just curious for when I finally get around to doing mine. Thanks for any input and congrats on the fine job!

I did use the knock plug just below the mirror adjustment controls.
Although my kit came with a switch, I burned it out trying to connect it up using the prewired system that did not have a relay, so I ended up at the dealer to see what they had to replace it with. The guy brought out a box, cut it open and pulled out the switch to sell it to me. We looked at the entire contents and it was exactly like the one I puchased on ebay for $41.95. The dealer's was $107.00.
The switch cost me $27.00. It too was the identical switch and it fit in the slot like it was made for it.

Nice! Could you explain how you actually changed that blank with the switch? Like, did you remove that lower part of the dash and push the blank out? How did you remove the lower part of the dash, etc? I appreciate your answers and thank you for replying.
Sure. That group of photos you provided (where you said halfway down was a pic of the underside of the bumper) shows all the sections that needs to be removed first, before that section can come off. When you get to that part you just reach your hand in the opening under the steering wheel and pull (easily) toward the seat and the top part of that panel will come loose. There are about 4 or 5 clips and one screw that hold it in place. I didn't even remove the screw (right above the gas pedal), I just let the panel hang down, and it wasn't in my way.
Those pictures helped a bunch. There was also a video at the end of the pictures that showed where to get the (single) wire through the firewall.

Awesome! Thanks again. I was pretty sure that the panel just pulled out from clips but I did not know about the screw. I guess the screw was no problem either way though. Again, I'm glad you got it all installed. Did you have to do some adjustments on the fogs one they were installed for aiming purposes or where they pretty close to being right? If you had to aim them, turning the adjustment screw which way aims them up or down?
Thanks again for answering all my questions and I'm glad that the links I posted helped.

I am new to the forum. I need help with the DIY fogs installation. I am currently connected the fogs thru a relay which is powered directly from the battery. It is working beautifully in a manual manner. I can turn on and off the fogs with no key inserted at the steering wheel. The LED indicator stays on at all time. I am afraid that it will drain out my battery. How should I wire differently to have the ignition switch control the Fog on/off? I have a 2014 Camry LE.
I used a jumper fuse plugged into the cigarette lighter fuse underneath the dash because I know that power turns off with the key. There are a few ways to go about this but that is what I did and it works great for me. What relay are you spliced into? If anything, you should tap into the headlight relay.
