Turtle's ToyoBaruScionGT86BRZMonogram

[1GiantTurtle]

This car has some serious identity crisis
Anyways after 1 year of ownership i decided to write a journal

Long story short my old car was a 2008 Nissan Rogue that i bought off my mom , to her it was a financial mistake to me at the time was my first car but after driving that car i started to hate it, it was big, too practical, boring, CVT, people always asking for rides, underpowered, CVT, I never saw the point in these cross over utility vehicles,

So i decided to look for a new car, at the time i was set on 2012 Camry SE v6, and drive that thing until my kids have kids, The more i think about that idea more depressed i feel about my my life. (pre-life crisis) However the ft86 caught my attention, since it was going to be badged a Scion and not have the dual climate and the sexy gt86 headlights i tossed it out the window.

Until Scion had the bright idea to introduce the Monogram series (It sounds so dumb but i bought it) Sold my Rogue to my friend, Test drove the Automatic, got the Manual, wanted the Blue Saw the Gray and got that instead.

How was the wiring with the fog lights on the monogram series since it is different from the stock ones? And which fogs did you go with?

I got OEM bezels and valero fog lights,
the wiring: It's the same on all Fr-s,its just scion made it a dealer installed option, while overseas gt86/86 are mandatory or included.

i make harnesses that plug into factory wires similar to the USDM fog light kit, and yes the fog indicator will light up, i have an extra pair since a buyer never got back to me

The wiring for the monogram headlights has like 6-7 different wires all into 1 plug where as the stock frs headlights have like 2-3. Did you have to tap into the headlight wiring at all?

the fogs have nothing to do with the headlights, If u unplug the blinker lights there is a unused hole, that's where the fogs get their power

If you look closely there's a unused hole with a blue plug, use a paper clip push out the plug and plug in the harness.
