Dude, you are a LIFESAVER!!!! Your method of using the coat-hanger to get through the firewall gasket worked like a charm (although, I used bailing wire). It was still a B***** to pull the switch wire through, but I would have never thought of that.
I’m glad the video has helped! The coat hanger trick usually works perfect for small wires!
I owe you big time. Followed your tutorial exactly and now it works and looks perfect! Thank you! Liked and subscribed!
Awesome, I’m glad the video helped out!
Thank you for the support! 🙏
Excellent video. Now, I need.to get a 10th gen Corolla 👍
I did all the same. But now randomly the fog light comes on and drain mu battery. I double check everything seems fine. Switch inside work onlu whrn i put the key. I wonder i the hot red wire outside csn be connected to a fise that comes on onlu when car is on. Like the one inside.
Great job!! I bought this exact kit for my wife’s Corolla and I’ll be following your instructions when I put them on tomorrow. Very straight forward and precise my only question is which fuse did you tap? Looks like the 4th or 5th one from the left but it’s hard to tell? I bought the fuse taps as well.
I want to say it was the 5th spot, but some cars are slightly different with different options. So I would just double check the fuse spot with a volt meter to make sure it only turns on with the accessory power.
Awesome learnt alot from your mods
Thank you! I am glad you liked the video!
hi brandon i wish find someone like you near me to do all that to my 2011 corolla....god bless
You should be able to find someone to help modify your corolla! 👍
Is there an easier way to do this now that its been a year?
I know when i started doing Mods on my Tacoma there are soms things i wish i knew than what i know now.
Also, if i already have fogs on my 13 Corolla am i gunna have to do all this?
Great video as always!
I have been told that the harness that is already in the bumper, can be used. And all you have to do is change the light switch stalk to the one for foglights.
I’m not sure if that’s how ready it really is, but I have been told by a few people already.
In Pennsylvania, you need a relay switch installed on the high beam wiring, to turn off the fog lights when the high beams are turned on.
That’s why I’m lucky to live in Florida. I don’t have any inspections or laws against doing this!
So I can independently turn my fogs on and off no matter what lights are on!
Looking to instal some all day running lights on my 2010 S do you have a vid on this subject
I don’t have one specific about just DRL. But my fog log video shows how I wire up the DRL’s and the fog lights. It should get you close to what you are looking for. All you will need to do is take the wires from the DRL’s and the ground wire will either go to the battery or a bolt on body of the car. And the positive wire will need to go to a fuse that only turns on when you turn on the car.
I have a question about your DRL did you have any issues with them with how you wired them. I used your video and followed these exact steps. I ended up having a problem with them staying on after I turned off my car. Everything else worked fine.
I would make sure whatever fuse you tapped into is the right one. It should only have power when you turn the key on. I would double check with a volt meter to make sure it only gets 12V with the key is on. Otherwise the DRL will stay on all the time.
@@BrandonStellmach Gotcha that could be the issue. My Corolla is 2010 le
-So I used the fuse slot 14 in the indoor fuse box since it says fog light on it. Also I only used one fuse tap btw. I noticed you had two in your video. (Unless I’m wrong about that)
Overall your video was a great guide. I basically have everything set up down to the wiring like you did on yours. Even the red cable connecting to the ground for the DRL (as you said) along with the blue wire on the bolt (for the Neg. battery side).
I took it to a shop they told me I May not be able to use it but I should be able to. Hope I can figure this out.
Btw love your content man. Your videos are super helpful. I’ll be installing my spoiler soon as well and noticed from your channel that you have one I can reference off of.
@@jovanndelgado7192 I’m not exactly sure what fuse slot I used. I only looked for a fuse slot that shut off when the key wasn’t in the ignition. And the second fuse tap you see is for my electronic door locks. It has nothing to do with the fog lights. You should only need one fuse tap. Also my car is a 2009 base model. So some fuses might be slightly different since mine is a base model with no accessories.
Does your car have a tire pressure sensor?
my vehicle is toyota corolla 2009 (Elegant hardware) EU version, I do not have this feature
Yes my car has tire pressure sensors, I had to change them out and get them programmed when I put my new wheels on.
Did you have any issues with these fog lights? Are they still working? Was planning on buying these on Ebay too.
I have had them on for about 2 months with no problems. I would recommend.
Hey i have the factory harness what's the difference putting the harness at came with it, can't you just use the original harness that the car has ?
My car also had the original harness, but the problem with that is the car doesn’t have the proper switch for them. Which would be the turn signal stalk with fog lights on them. Also the wiring is not plug and play for the switch, I believe you have to add an additional relay as well. It’s much more complicated than just plugging them in. And is easier to just run your own wires and switch!
What about if you use a LED bulbs on the fog lights and connect the fog lights harness directly to the Car Park lights harness,So in this case you don’t need to run on this wires to the battery and inside the car??
I put LED’s in probably a week after I installed them. And the reason I ran the wire the way I did was because I wanted a switch to turn them on and off, weather or not the headlights are on.
@@BrandonStellmach got it
what fuse did you put in the add-a-fuse ? are those both 5 amp ?
They are 15 amp fuses
Sir does the fog lights installation follow the same connection like the horns? Does your fog lights have its own harness when you bought it?
The fog lights do come with a harness, but they take a little bit more to get them installed, because you have to get the wire into the cabin!
@@BrandonStellmach oh yeah thats additional work. Thank you
Hi there
Have you connected that fog light to meter
Fog indicator lighting in Dashboard meter
I have not. I know some people will use the OEM wiring to plug the fog lights in.
Do you have a recommended replacement for daytime running lights ?
If you are talking about the ones that came with the fog lights. I did change them to this!

Can you help with the wiring like if you can upload a wiring diagram as reply
I will try to make a diagram in a few days and upload it to my description.
I saw a closeout deal (half price) of a 2009 Corolla fog light; however, I think I under estimate the effort on this especially removal of bumper. Do I have to remove the bumper? Thanks for the excellent video.
You might be able to install them with the bumper, but I would highly recommend it because it makes everything so much easier. Also the bumper isn’t that hard to take off, just about 8 screws and a couple of clips.
i didnt stress myself. i just connected the fog light wire direct to high beam wire, i control it from leaver switch. if i full bean fog light will full, if am on day light fog light will be on low beam...
That’s good that you were able to get them hooked up! Seem like you did it a pretty simple way! 👍
Where did you tap the drl only in the inside fuse box?
7.5A ACC or 25A ACC-B
Yes I did, I tapped it into a 10A fuse, that was only on when you turned on the car.
Have u had any problems with the fog lights? Are they stil working good?
And are they connect to the switch like can u still turn them on with hi beams or do they turn off?
I had these on for about a year before I upgraded, and they were working perfect.
And yes with the separate switch, you can turn them on with the high beams.
@@BrandonStellmach u upgraded the whole fog light or just LED swapped the bulbs? If u did can I have the link to the fog lights!
Ok thanks!
@@alejandrosanchez2482I swapped out the housing but kept the bezels. I just upgraded to some random LED ones I found on Amazon. I don’t have any links.
Brandon! So, I got regular fog lights without the DRL which means that’s a wire that I don’t have to worry about connecting once I’m inside. I just need to ground the blue which I already know where to do it, plug the yellow wire to the switch, but the red one (power one) where do you connect it?
Thank you!
It has been a while since I have installed these, but I’m pretty sure I just took the red power wire, and I added a fuse tap to it, and under the the driver panel, there is the fuse box, and I found a fuse that was came on with the accessory power, so that way every time you shut your car off they would turn off as well.
Do you know which fuse tap did you use for it?
So, basically you splice the fuse tap to the red wire and just tap it right?
@@eduarmilla3996 if you pause the video at around 10:38. You will see the fuse I tapped into. I believe it’s the left one. So you can count how many it is over to the left.
But yes just splice the power wire into the fuse tap, and then plug the fuse in.
Yes that’s what I’m seeing and I even took a screenshot of it.
One last question! You didn’t have to mess with the fuse box under the hood right? I’ve seen other videos that they take out a fuse from the fuse box and plug it into the fuse tap as well and then do the tapping.
And those fuse taps are 12v right?
Thank you Brandon!
@@eduarmilla3996 I didn’t do anything in the fuse box under the hood. Only the one in the cabin.
And yes those fuse taps are for 12v.
I hope everything goes smooth for you!
wow bro...
Whats that filter below your drivers headlamp?
It is an Injen cold air intake!
What wheels are you running as well as the tire size
They are niche m117 Misano 18x8.5 with Nankang 225 40 18.
I know how to stop your DRLs from coming on and you can change them to LEDs. I just started upgrading my 10th Gen. it’s becoming a nice little car to drive around in. I love my Vic and Escalade but it’s cool what you can do to these cars! 💯👊🏻
Same here i am modifying my 2010 corolla and i love it!!!
It’s a great little to go drive around and have a little fun it!
@@UNKNOWN-cz2lp Dope 👊🏻
@@BrandonStellmach it is I did so much in the last 3 weeks! 👊🏻
The bulb that use are white ? If so, witch one ?
I’m not sure if they were halogen bulbs in this video.
But I have installed white LED fog lights in this video! And I have links in the description!
ua-cam.com/video/4VNUmIP08fg/v-deo.html
Can they fit on a 2010 Camry le?
These are only for the 2009-2010 corolla.
What air intake do you have ?
I have an Injen cold air intake! Here is the link of me installing it: ua-cam.com/video/TNgHk9fRTJs/v-deo.html
where did you buy the wheels?
I bought the wheels and tires from wheelfire.com
Do you use the factory conector?
No, I used the aftermarket harness that came with the fog lights, I have heard people do Tap into the factory fog lights, but I’m not sure what else is needed.
Is it possible to install a button to open an electric trunk in the 2009 Corolla?
I thought about adding a button for the trunk release, but there really is no reason to when you have a trunk release handle on the floor, it would be redundant to put a button as well!
When you buy the fog lights, are all the wiring harness comes with it already?
Yes mine came with all the wiring and the switch. Didn’t need to buy anything else, except for fuse taps for a cleaner install, otherwise you can just splice into another wire instead.
@@BrandonStellmach im hoping ots easy to install.
@@popoygravy5118 it should be pretty easy, as long as you have basic knowledge of car stuff!
Where does the yellow one go at the end?
Does it connect to the panel button to turn the lights on? And if we don't get the kit with drls do we still have to connect it to the fuse?
The yellow cable goes in side the cabin to the switch, and you will still need to supply power to the switch, and that is why I used a fuse tap to get power.
@@BrandonStellmach What voltage were the fuse taps by chance? 15A?
Yes I used 15A fuses that I had to buy separately.
Do you have the website address?
Have the link in the description of the video!
Please send the part #Bud-led a
Here is the link to the bulbs I have: amzn.to/3dnUgQr
Hi ...Brandon please all part # number i need i lake the same you h...
Why didn't you just use the factory wiring ?
Because you have to splice into some wires under the dash, and need to replace the turn signal stalk with one with fog switch. I just think it’s much easier and cheaper to do it the way I did.
@@BrandonStellmach No you don't. Toyota makes 1 wiring harness for each model of car . Use the wiring that there all you do is plus the fog lights into the factory wiring and then change the turning signal/head light switch with has 5 screws . Add a fuse in the fusebox for the fog lights. It took me all of 45 minutes to install a set
@@terrycolbourne3512 okay, maybe I might upgrade mine in the future to try and clean up the wiring. From what I read you needed to do more then just add a fuse.
But thanks I will definitely look into doing this.
Your toggle switch button is upside down.
I actually found that out about 2 months ago. So I have already flipped it over. But I’m surprised that no one else has commented saying that!
There is an extra switch down there
An extra switch where?
I didn’t get I u didn’t explain it very well man like the wiring stuff u didn’t explain it very well
What didn’t I explain well? I will try to help with it, just ask the question you need!
mumble mumble mumble and I’m asleep
It’s nice to know I have a nice sounding voice that will put you to sleep!
