Great mod, great video! I just installed DDM Tuning Raptor 3000K LEDs in my GX 470 fog lights so this is the icing on the cake. I didn't bother ordering a fuse tap assy, just used a scrap of 18 Ga wire and wedged it in the far side of the seat heater fuse socket which is the load side. Setting the wire strands parallel instead of twisted was the key to letting the fuse slide in easily.
Excellent, thank you brother! This worked on my 08 4runner limited as well using seat heater fuse. Your video is very thorough and straight to the point!
I tried this on my 04 T4R and snapped the relay arm off. $35 replacement made me gun shy about trying again. FFWD to now, have an 04 GX, twice as expensive as my 4 was, the arm bent nice and purrty. Mod Works beautifully under 5 minutes. Super happy right now
Nicely done video! I tried this on my 2004 GX470. It made it so that the foglights can come on with the key on as well as with low beams on. However, when you switch to high beams, the fog lights still shut off. I'd like to be able to run fog lights with high beams on as well...
Excellent video, im going to use this on my 06 4runner. Thank you. Correction, just did it, took 5 mins. Only needed one male spade one female spade. My rig doesnt have heated seats so i came off of switched hot side of a/c inverter spot. On with key and fog switch, off with key.
Cool! Do they come with the female spade connector on the other end to fit the relay you bent? It looks like the ones you listed on Amazon are different. Did you have to buy one and cut the cable and crimp on that spade?
What happens when you turn on the high beams. Does it kill the fogs? I'm trying to get the fogs to stay on when high beams are on in a 2006 toyota solara
Nice work on this video. I just completed this mod on my 2005 GX470 and it works perfectly with my ARB LED fog lights. Looking forward the next nighttime downpour to test them out.
For full time fogs, take that tap from the engine running only 12v and run it out a notch in the fuse box down to the hot wire (red) on the closest fog light which will power both fogs once the motor starts. They will stay on ALWAYS hi beams low beams lights switched off.
I did my 08 GX470 with these Fahren brand low beams in 10 minutes, they look amazing.

Just bought the pack you linked to and the fuse tap that connects to the seat heater is round and not flat like yours, can I but that part or should I return this?
Hey. on gx 460 can also be done with this jumper? and if you know then tell me how to make sure that the fog lights do not turn off when you turn on the main beam on the Lexus GX 460. thanks
My fogs turn off when I turn on the high beams. This has to do with the high beam circuit killing the ground. If your high beams are on your fogs are useless...so for me it doesn't matter.
Yes. The link is below. They are not as bright as I was hoping. But they do look real nice. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F846F2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hey there. So I bought the recommend kit. I’m not super mechanical inclined, but it doesn’t have the spade that would connect to the fog relay. What did you use/recommend here
Just recently purchased a GX470 and stumbled this video on ih8mud forums. My question is with this modification, does the fog lights remain "on" as long as the car is on? Could I turn it off from the fog switch? Thank you.
Thank you sir.

Best video out there for this mod 👍🏼

Just completed the mod. Thanks so much for your video. It was super clear, easy to follow, and really well done over all. Thank you, Sir!
Thanks for posting this! Very helpful!!
Also note that the required female spade connector should be a mini. A standard size one might work but not so secure.

Did you figure a way to run with high beams?
@@dwp3206 no, I never figured that out...
Did anyone figure this out? I want it with my high beams as well.
@@mcodyw I've heard it can be done with an extra relay, but I never tried...

Great video. Any recommendations for bright white H3 LED bulb for 2005 GX470 ?
Hey, do you know if this would be the same with a 2004 Lexus GX470? Since the 2006 model was updated
Sorry...don't have a clue about an 04.

great information

Am I missing something? What happened to your actual parking light? I never saw it come on.
A lot of people disable them due to getting too hot and eventually melting the plastic inside. That may be the case with his
Wow that's nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey. on gx 460 can also be done with this jumper? and if you know then tell me how to make sure that the fog lights do not turn off when you turn on the main beam on the Lexus GX 460. thanks
Since I don't own a 460...I don't have a clue. Sorry.
What do the fogs do when you hit the “Brights””
Jon White they stay on
My fogs turn off when I turn on the high beams. This has to do with the high beam circuit killing the ground. If your high beams are on your fogs are useless...so for me it doesn't matter.
How do i get my fogs to turn on with my high beams. I want maximum light
I just did this. Thanks.
What's the purpose of the 5 amp fuse on the fuse tap?
What size female spade connector did you use?
Hi great video. Do you have the link to the amber leds ?
Yes. The link is below. They are not as bright as I was hoping. But they do look real nice.

I hope this works on my 2006 Tundra
Hey there. So I bought the recommend kit. I’m not super mechanical inclined, but it doesn’t have the spade that would connect to the fog relay. What did you use/recommend here
You need a 1/4" crimp on spade connector. Any auto parts store will have that...even WallyWorld.
Do the fog lights turn off when the car turns off?
Yes.
Just recently purchased a GX470 and stumbled this video on ih8mud forums. My question is with this modification, does the fog lights remain "on" as long as the car is on? Could I turn it off from the fog switch? Thank you.
If the low beam headlights are on, the fog lights are on as long as the fog light switch is turned on. Yes, you can still turn off the fog lights.
You could achieve the same results by turning on your parking lights with your fog lights set to on. Correct? Or am I missing something.
Mine doesn't work same modification, any idea?
Then you did something different. Sorry.
Just did it today, the fog light settings are dumb from the factory
