    thank you so much, I am a dumb person and I was able to install fog lights on my tc, the first time I saw this video I didnt understand anything but once I had the lights in hand everything was pretty simple :)

      Glad you figured it out man. It looks like a lot when you get the package but as you saw, it's pretty straight forward.

    IT IS NOT THE ONLY BLUE WIRE... The correct wire is the DARK BLUE and SILVER STRIPES. It is NOT a SOLID BLUE wire. THIS IS A GREAT INSTALLATION VIDEO AND IS A GREAT GUIDELINE THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT.

    You can also use a fuse tap to piggy back off the parking light fuse, its pretty easy and no splicing into the harness.

    Is all the extra red wire necessary to use for it to work. I tried leaving it out but battery clicking when ignition on, not sure what it could be

    I still don't understand the wiring process, you should of showed it step by step. I already know how to install the fog light assembly to the bumper, the wiring part is where I'm stuck.

  • @quinstickman

    How exactly did you close up the exposed blue wire with the red wire? Wouldn’t it be split 3 directions? Also did you have to use any wire crimps during the installation process and where did you end up putting the red wire instead of with the remote start?

    • @DIYAUTOCAR
      @DIYAUTOCAR  3 роки тому +1

      We sold the car last year and they were still working fine. They even survived a front end crash that damaged the bumper and fenders.

    There something I might of missed? Or any suggestions

  • @bigpascual74
    @bigpascual74 3 роки тому +1

    I think the fog lights aren't flush because it gives the space for a lip to go on, cause I have the lip on mine and it make the whole more smaller

    This video is very helpful thank you very much I will try to instal my own fog lights on my Scion tC 2012! Wish me luck I’ll be following each step that you made in your video 😬 just one question ? For the last wire that you mention(BlueWire) min 10:17 you had to cut the wire open to connect it together with the other wire that was left correct?

    what size bulbs are the fog lights? can they fit an LED bulb?

    • @DIYAUTOCAR
      @DIYAUTOCAR  6 років тому

      I'm not sure offhand to be honest. We didn't look at the bulb number/size. I imagine you can probably get an LED replacement though.

    I Installed a similar kit on my 12 TC, wired the same way, but 1 fog light flashes while the other stays on solid, when I hit the switch again they just switch sides... any suggestions? Has this happened on yours?

    • @DIYAUTOCAR
      @DIYAUTOCAR  6 років тому

      No, this has not happened. They have worked flawlessly ever since we installed them. If everything is wired up exactly the same way that I did in this video then I would suspect that there's an issue with the fog lights/switch/relay.

    • @DIYAUTOCAR
      @DIYAUTOCAR  4 роки тому

      I also do remote start installations so I knew that wire was something that is normally connected for remote start installs. I looked it up the color on the12volt.com and tested it with a digital multimeter.
