The fuse was loose on my harness and the lights kept flickering on and off. Had to squeeze the connectors together to get better contact.

yup. the frs has a small front-end, so the headlights, turn signals, and fog lights makes it look way too busy.

Is there a way to make the fog lights light up when you turn on the parking lights? I've got the oem fog lights installed by scion.

and anybody got any recommendations for led fog light bulbs?

@nigel-jdmparts or anyone else who has had their fuse melt, how did you get the melted fuse out? It's completely stuck in there. This is after less than 2 month of being installed and only being turned on a handful of times.

I cut the old fuse holder out and solder a new one in its place with the same amp fuse
