hahaha this made me laugh. i need it too

Nope. I haven't found it as of yet. Still trying though!

anyone know the dimension/measurment of the fog lights by any chance been seeing 3/12"-3" in diameter? looking to install mine soon with stalk just always wondered what the diameter?

.I just measured mine. I have the Subaru Outback lights, and they measure 3 1/2" in diameter.

Got mine completed today.

Used the Tundra stalk and Nigel harness after a rewire to make it a negative tigger. One wire into the cab, the ground and attached to the white wire in the steering column.

One thing I didn't expect. With the headlights turned on the indicator in the dash works with the fog switch on. Turn the headligts off the fogs stay on and the indicator goes off. Turn on the high beams and the fogs and indicator turn off.

The fogs also stay on with the ignition off. I may go in a put them on a ignition switched circuit.

One thing you may want to change if you use Nigel's wiring harness. It has the ground for the lights and the ground for the relay trigger tied together. If you use the Corolla/Tundra stalk to ground the trigger you will be putting all the power through that thin little wire. I cut the ground for the lights and grounded them separately.

I have the circuit grounds separated. Even so I'm still leery of such small guage wire even it is just in the coil circuit. I wanted and still may try and find the output from the ECU that I posted earlier in the thread. Its difficult to understand the manual and track down the specific connectors and pin locations.

If you google the part number, any pics that come up look like it's what you're looking for.

I have not ordered it yet, however I do intend to when I'm ready to complete this mod...

A note from my install. The retaining clip with the Tundra stalk worked fine. I did not need to change it.

Assuming its the clip with the red retainer attched in this shot.

Aah, I thought the retainer was part of the clip when I glanced at it. I just swapped it out so I wouldn't have to take it back off if the cover didn't fit.

Quoting myself. I am finally understanding the manual. I originally thought there was an external PIN 30 you could tap to on the ECU to control an external relay to work the fog lights.

Everything shaded in gray is internal to the ECU. So if all the hardware is in the ECU on our Scions you should be able to put fuses in the fog light slots. Tap into pins 3 and 5 of Connector 3C of the ECU and run those two wires to each individual light. No external harness with relay needed and no worries of over currenting the white wire at the stalk harness.

Sorry, I'm a little bit confused. Are you saying that all that needs to be done to properly fire up the fog lights with a Tundra stalk is tap onto pins 3 and 5 of connector 3C, run the wires to both fog lights, insert fuses on the fog light slots? Is this how you did yours?

Yes, if the hardware is in the ECU. The two wires from the ECU would be 12v+, you'd still have to ground the lights. No I didn't do it this way. I didn't figure out the drawings till after my install.

^ Thanks for the info. Now, how do we find out if the hardware is in the ECU???
