I think you could have avoided doing a lot of work by just purchasing the headlight/fog light combination switch from Toyota. All that you had to do was to replace the headlight switch and install your fog lights using the factory wiring harness and bingo. I ordered my headlight/fog light combination switch from Toyota last week and I am waiting for them to arrive to install my Spyder Projector fog lights. I also ordered LED fog light bulbs (6,000 lumens). I am planning to also purchase LED projector headlights for my 2009 Toyota Corolla LE. The price for both is around $400.
Thank you for posting this video. I looked, and I have the wiring for fog lights and the spot where the relay goes is wired, so I think I can use the original wiring like you did. I do have a question though: Regarding the wiring you ran to your switch; if you had just connected the red and white wires together at the light switch, would the fog lights come on with the headlights, shut off with the headlights, and would the fog lights go out when the car high beams are on? I'm asking these questions so I know what the red and white wires do. In otherwords, are you using the switch to connect the red and white wires together? Please get back to me, Regards
You are correct. If you do not use the switch like I did, you can connect the red and white wires together with another wire going from the red socket to the white socket. That creates a permanent on where the fog lights will come on every time your headlights come on, turn off when your high beams come on and shut off when you take the key out. The switch is an on/off deal versus permanent on. Now if you cut the red and white wires off the harness and physically twist them together, I have no idea what that will do.
I think you could have replaced the headlight switch with one that comes with the corolla s model that has the fog light switch on it, instead of installing the button switch that connects the red and white wires together.
I could have, butI was a broke college student living a false rich life at the time haha. That would have been the best option, but switches were about 300 at the time too.
@@babaogbagba4402 That’s all you’ll need, as long as the headlight switch has the fog light controls built into it. If you’re following the video, then you might need some extra wires to connect it.
I have a 2010 Corolla LE and there do appear to be any wires or contacts for the relay in the position indicated in the video. There are also no wires in the relay base directly above that position. There are wires and connectors under the fender for the fog lights, but they do not go to the relay base. So I would check to see if your model has wires in the relay base, before spending any money on a relay.
so in taswons guide, according to him the fog light wires are already there, and one option is to get the turn signal switch with the fogs and a relay?
Yeah, you can get the replay, lights, and combination turn signals stalk with the fog controls. That’s the best way to integrate it. If you went with a separate switch like I did, you’d have to splice in some wires
It's not clear instruction what wire controls the headlights relay and which is parking light relay and which is coming from factory fog light relay and where to it has to be connected tru the switch. I have Matrix 2013 and can't figure out the dark green wire on the side has 12v when headlight switch is off and has 0v when light are on. Also dark brown next to Bright green has 12v when parking lights off and 0v we parking lights are on.
You have to cut a wire on a connector behind your glove box. However, this also disable automatic headlights when it gets dark. www.toyotanation.com/forum/325-10th-gen-corolla-2nd-gen-matrix-exterior-forum/309869-diy-disable-drl-autolights-independent-fog-light-mod-w-pics.html#/forumsite/20543/topics/309869?page=1 This link has instructions on how to do it.
I really want to do this and I was just making sure that the relay is part #90080-87010 and if I should trust the used ones on eBay for like $12-20...? Also I'm excited to do this so I'm hoping I can get advice or help
@@franciscouture3769 not with the way I installed it the video. The factory system won’t allow it. Some people have bypassed it by cutting a few wires somewhere. But if you installed the fog lights by wiring it directly to the battery, using a switch, you can. The Toyota nation forums is a good place to reference too
To add to this you could use the Non used relay that came with the kit to use for the switch ground light that stays powered on when it is grounded with the black wire though the ignition is off. when wired properly then the Fog switch light will come on when ignition is turned on. Just a thought as I am going to try all of this mentioned about and see if it works.
i am planning to this but just without the switch. you think will it work? Fog light relay and using preinstalled wires to connect into the fog lights.
Well the switch is for turning it on and off obviously, but you could have a single wire connect to the red and white one that is under the steering wheel. That would act as a permanent on so to speak since the switch does the same thing.
Sort of. You can use different aspects of my video. But do keep in mind that the 2016 corolla is completely different. The style is similar to the 2014 corolla.

You can do this to your camry but I'm not sure how similar the wiring setup is with the 07 camry le vs the 09 corolla. If you're lucky enough to have the factory harness installed you can use the video as a guide to help you. I'm positive there are alot of people who have installed foglights in their 07 camry. Check toyota nation and look for the appropriate form.
If you want to use the fog lights using the factory wiring harness, you will need to get the relay. However, if you’re installing fog lights using a different method, you won’t need it.

You can do follow the same guide/video. But I would make sure your car has existing wires for fog lights. Check behind your front bumper where the fog lights should be. If you see extra wiring harnesses, then you can install them. If there isn't any. You would have to install your foglights using the wiring kit that came with them. That's a completely different thing.
I have question because we got 100% same foglight and wire. Do i need to buy new relay switch? And just disregard the stock relay and fuse from foglight? And no need to connect wire in to the battery?
Eliezer Dungca it depends. Everything they provide, including the fuse and relay, is for a complete install in case your car does not have the factory fog light wires. You would connect the fog lights to their fuse and relay with their wires. And they want you to connect to the battery for power. But if your car has the fog light wiring in the front of the car already installed, and want to use the factory wires, you don’t need to use the relay and fuse from the kit and you wouldn’t have to connect the wire to the battery since the factory wiring is connected to the car. If you choose to use the factory wiring, then you will have to buy a new relay since the one that it comes with will not fit under the dash. I hope that makes sense!
The price on the relay went up it seems, so I'll be doing this install in two days with this relay - ebay.to/2qhaMXs I'll report back when it's complete!
Huy Ly the instillation was so easy. just plugged in the fuse, popped in the lights on the stock harness, and used the wire from the aftermarket harness to activate the switch. Along with the black Angel eye headlights I got, it looks more like a Mazda than a Toyota now. Also got Scion tC 17s as well. love it.
It depends on how you’re installing the fog lights. If you want to use the factory wiring harness that came with the car, you will need the relay for it to work. But if you’re installing it following the instructions that came with the fog lights then you might not need it.
@@huyly1632 my 2010 corolla LE comes with the factory wiring for the fog light I didn’t even know that’s was a thing till I google it because last time I was changing my headlights and I saw wires that looked for light bulb and my dad noticed it and he was like that should be for fog lights and I didnt really pay attention to it but not that it is for fog lights I’m excited to install them
Installed in a 2011 Corolla 1.3 Professional in South Africa. This worked to the tee. Thanks for this guide
Thank you for posting this!! It worked on my 5spd base model 09 corolla. Thanks again for the very helpful info!!😁😎☺
Thanks for posting this video! It helped me install my fog lights and they work exactly as you have demonstrated here!!!
What is the part number for the factory relay?
very clean work no wiring outside
Thanks for the video... It is a lot of work, I gave up hahahahah....

How to align the fog lights in corolla? I have corolla 2009 model S

@@huyly1632 yeah i think ill go with the switch and relay, that way dont have to mess with any wires, thank you
Light on switch is on 1) because your switch is broken or 2) because you get positive from a hot positive cable which no need car key on....simple!
George S good point! I’ve never thought about it like that. I’ve always thought the switch was defective.
So I have a was given the Toyota Corolla fog light switch out of a 2011 so how do I wire it up it's the blinkers and everything
Do you still have this car?
Ismael I still do!
It's not clear instruction what wire controls the headlights relay and which is parking light relay and which is coming from factory fog light relay and where to it has to be connected tru the switch.

How can i get the fog lights to stay on with the high beams on
Would you happen to know how to turn off the automatic DRL's? Like what wire to cut or whatever? (:
You have to cut a wire on a connector behind your glove box. However, this also disable automatic headlights when it gets dark.

If the headlight are on and you turn on the high beam too does it turn off the fog light?
Yes the fog lights will turn off if you turn on the high beams
So you cant all light them up at the same time ? High beam + low beam + fog lights ?
