FRS fogs using BRZ stalk - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just bought a universal lighting harness from princes auto with a fuse, relay and on off switch built in. that cost me 10 dollars. I know a switch in the car is not the prettiest when it is not designed in an OEM fashion but really, 10 dollars is a lot cheaper than a 100 dollar stalk and a wiring headache.

It isn't a big deal, it just wasn't what I wanted. Good job though on saving the money.

Btw stalk is only $60, not $100. Since I took the headache out of figuring out which wire to use wiring will take what, like 10-15 minutes?

Appreciate the info though, it's good info for someone who wants an alternative to what I did.

60 is better. I saw a few posts talking about 105-100 dollars for the part, which is cost prohibitive. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up going this route because I would like to have the light on the dash work.... I am OCD that way. Now that I know it exists. I want it

however it would render my harness useless in its current form. would need to be rewired.

The price differences are for 2 different stalks. The $60 is for the BRZ stalk, which has an auto headlights spot. The $100 is for the Tundra/Corolla stalk, which does not have an auto headlights spot. Since the FR-S does not have auto headlights a lot of guys prefer a stalk without the auto headlight spot.

bumpin for news. Get the prius stalk yet?

All this talk about the auto-headlight spot makes me wonder what it would take to get that working too... might not be too much more -- just a sensor and some wiring probably.

Apparently you have to replace the main body ECU and add sensors. See this thread, post #356:

Anyone know where to source the GT86/BRZ stalk with auto and front and rear fog light switch? I have front fogs on mine and I would like to retrofit the rear fog. Looks like my car is already prewired for the rear fog since I have a fuse for the rear fog, contacts on the empty slot for the rear fog relay and a third wire (yellow) on the reverse light connector in the trunk

SkAsphalt · 02-26-2013, 12:24 AM

If I have a full harness with a relay and a switch, could I tap the switches ground wire and run that that to the "white wire" so when I turn on the switch (and complete the circuit) it will activate the dashboard fog light indicator through the white wire into the BCU?

Hope that question made sense.

I think so.

That "should" let the switch turn on the fog lamps only when the parking or headlights are on. I think....

Update? Fit and plug n play? (minus wiring out from fuse box)

I just received the switch yesterday. It will be next week before I have time to work on it.
