Will the dash still have the fog light indicator on?

Yes, the stalk does fit, everything plugs in the way it is supposed to. The only thing I had to do was reuse the spring clamp that holds the assembly to the steering column. The clamp that comes with the Tundra stalk will not clear the top panel that fits over the column. It will be apparent when you see it. And yes, the fog light indicator in the dash works. I'm just waiting on my harness & bezels to finish up the install. One tip I found from watch the OEM plus stereo install video was that Toyota leaves a spot on the grommet where the main harness feeds through the firewall for extra wires. It looks like a little nub sticking out on the firewall side. I took an Xacto knife and cut a slit on the end of the nub, and you can push wires through it from the inside no problem.

Can you please provide pictures and part numbers? I would really appreciate it!

Is this the same for the BRZ stalk?

zooki · 03-06-2013, 03:22 PM

It's not the same as the BRZ stalk, it doesn't have the "auto headlight" spot on the switch. The Toyota part number is 84140-02670.
I didn't take any pictures, sorry. I kind of a "let's tear it apart and figure it out as we go" guy. LOL

NemeGuero · 03-06-2013, 05:13 PM

No I meant does the BRZ stalk function the same way, IE only with low beams.

zooki · 03-06-2013, 07:23 PM

Oh, don't know that one, sorry.

lbroskee · 03-06-2013, 07:27 PM

Just wanted to give a out shout to everyone in this thread and say thanks. I installed my fog lights today with very little difficulty. I went with the harness from nigel, for now it is tapped into the side markers put I am in the process of getting the switch set up.

Do you just have the switch set for "on" and stashed somewhere or where you able to bypass the switch completely?

So what do you have to do to make the fog light indicator work on the dash. Is there a way to make that work with the switch or do you have to have the stalk?? I am assuming you tied into the dash wiring to make this happen??

zooki · 03-06-2013, 10:31 PM

That's the beauty of it. The stalk makes the dash indicator light work. The wiring is all there, at least from the stalk to the indicator light. All I did was plug it in and turn it on. To get the wiring relay to work I had to pull a wire into the interior and tie it to the ground wire that goes to the switch. It's the same wire that turns the indicator light on.

I have used a dremel tool and made a hole right beside the trunk button on the drivers side dash. The switch is installed and wired, I just need to run the white harness line in through the firewall and connect the two.

For now it is just running off the sidemarker, by this afternoon I will have it completely wired though.

Ahh ok. Do you think the switch could fit in the space where the usb/aux is? I dont use it with my kenwood nav so i was thinking about putting it in there if possible
