Hello,
I am trying to install fog lights in my 2011 Tundra. I bought this
kit and planned on using the WinJet video that was posted by woo woo a few posts up but realized that the video at that link is for using the pre-wired harness. I want to use the full kit so I can run my fogs whenever. Also at that link is their diagram of the entire wiring kit (i've attached that PDF to this post).
I'm very mechanically inclined, so I know the task isn't outside my realm of ability. However, I've never done any sort of wiring work for a car, so I just want to be 100% I'm doing everything correctly. Getting the lamp assembly in is no problem and I know I just need to plug the wiring harness into the female input on the back of the bulb.
From there, I know I need to go to the battery with one line and to the truck body with the ground, but what then do I do with the relay and fuse? I'm pre-wired for the fogs, but like I said, I want to be able to run them with the high beams. Do I just let them "dangle" (for lack of a better word) somewhere near the fuse/relay box? Or do I need to pull the box out and run the new wiring through it? (Please say no to that last question, haha.)
From there, I know I take the yellow wire to pass through the firewall, but how do I get through the firewall? Do I need to drill a hole? Or should I somehow
use this grommet?
Finally, once I get inside of the cab, how do I splice the ignition wire to the "key on power" ignition wire? I do not have the brown connector on the ignition wire like it shows on the diagram I linked to above, but I do have this
small red connector. I can see that the arm of the connector comes over the top to click in to the right side of it, but do I run the wires under there to slice them or do I run them through the holes in the middle? And which wire inside is the "Key on power" ignition wire?
Sorry for so many questions, I just want to be sure I have each step correct.
Thanks!
Chris
