Thanks Hot Toys - is that a photo of before or after you re-pinned it? I just checked mine and it's the same as in your photo.

it's after re pin already, did you find a good metal place with no paint to ground the wire or all the wiring connected good?

UPDATE: Problem found and fixed!

For anyone who may come across this issue of the racingbees fog lights repeatedly (in a cycle) turning on and off on their own, this is the simple solution:

***the dash brightness dial needs to be in the FULL BRIGHTNESS position***

Apparently when it is at anything less than full brightness, the draw from the fog lights is too much and it triggers some relay in the dash to shut off. I didn't even think of that as a possibility to be the cause of the problem, but there you have it.

I need to give props to the service team at Stouffville Toyota/scion who diagnosed the issue - I would have never figured this out on my own and they were great to deal with.

There is no mention of the dash brightness dial in the Toyota OEM fog light installation guide... I wonder if anyone with the OEM kit would have this issue if they turned down the dash brightness and turned on their fog lights?

Anyways, hopefully this issue didn't dissuade anyone from purchasing the racingbees kit. I actually took my car to racingbees since they are local to me and they spent a lot of time trying to figure out the issue. They're not technicians but I appreciated the customer support they provided.
