Yeah, the steering wheel is a bit tricky. Good steady even pull and a little wiggle and it will pop off. I also about smacked myself in the face removing it. I was worried that I had damaged the air bag wiring running through it but all was well.

Total = $220 DIY + various shipping costs to different locations

When I took my steering wheel off I just gripped at 3 and 9 o'clock / made sure I was pulling it straight and pulled like BOSS. It almost hit me in the chest if that gives any indication of how hard to pull.....
Are the outback glass fog lamps the same as the one in the kit?. Also jdm wiring harness, are we still fiddling with anything that requires tapping or is it all plug and play? If it's plug n play, I might as well go your route.

Its easier when you loosen up the nut and then pull (while the nut is still kind of threaded). That way you can pull like a Boss and not hurt yourself

The JDM stalk with auto light is only $60 bucks. The bezels from Amayama are $28 without shipping, fogs $84, h11 pig tails are $20 shipped.

That's $192 minus shipping for the bezels from Amayama. I'm about to rerun my wire the new way coming from that plug. I've been doing this for all my local FRS guys.

H11 Harness
Any h11 harness you prefer, wether you buy one from amazon.com or get Nigel fog light harness kit.

Mounting Hardwares
You need 4x m5 or m6 Allen bolts, 4x m5 or m6 washer, 4x nylon m5 or m6 nuts.

Extra Harness Pins, to make a new harness with your h11 connectors, to connect to the signal lights connectors.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...=29263&page=12

2. Start by disconnecting the battery
3. Positive Terminal disconnected
4. 3x fuses for the Horn were taken off. Heres a reference http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12257
5. Now take off plastic splash guard underneath the bumper, both passenger and driver sides, there 1x 10mm nut you need to take off and 2 pop offs..
6. take off the plastic cover on passenger side, be patient, you can actually literally pull it all off once you get a corner off.



7. Now same as passenger side take off driver side plastic cover
8. Here both driver and passenger side plastic coverts taken off
9. Now its time to take the steering wheel off, first you need to take the airbag off. once again dont forget to disconnect battery off. now go to the cabin and push the pin forward the center of the steering wheel on all three holes. while pulling the airbag itself towards you. Reference http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...ghlight=Airbag
10. remove both orange and black harness off the also the ground for the horn off the airbag remove the nut that's holding the steering wheel, then gently pull the steering wheel towards you.
11. make sure to tape the steering angle sensor does not move I used a tape t o make sure it does not move, basically you want the orange to be visible in the window just like the picture.
12. remove two bolts to take upper and lower plastic steering cover.
Quote:
Remove the two screws from the wheel covering. Gently remove the bottom cover by seperating top from bottom.


13. now remove the white connector on the steering angle sensor
14. remove all off the sensors underneath, the yellow one is a tricky one you actually need to push it from the end.
Quote:
Next unplug everything you basically see. Lower left side is a white connector for the headlamp assembly. Lower Center is a white and yellow connector for the steering position sensor. The yellow connector has a specialty lock that has to be slid forward to get it disconnected. There is also a connector to the right side and rear of the steering sensor. There are 3 clips that hold the steering sensor. Unsnap them and gently pull it off. Keeping it clocked to the same location. Keep the yellow indicator in the window.
15. You need to remove the steering angle sensor, so unclip the clip on the 12 oclock position to remove the steering angle sensor
16. Then unclip the clip on the 9 oclock position to remove the steering angle sensor
17. Finally, unclip the clip on the 3 oclock position to remove the steering anlge sensor
18. After removing the sensor, locate the clamp thats holding the switch, the clamp is at the back at your 12 oclock, squeeze the clamp thats holding the original stalk switch at the back and wiggle the stalk out towards you.. It might take some time but be patient and wiggle it out towards you..



19. You need to remove the wiper switch first before you take the light switch stalk.
20. you should see this when you take the original stalk switch while depressing the clamp and pulling it towards you.
Quote:
To remove the headlamp stalk you need to compress the clamp on the back side and pull up the plastic lock underneath the spring at the 12 O'clock position and gently wiggle it off. Its. not easy.... Once you have it off transfer the turn signal switch to the new stalk and reverse the procedures to put everything back.

The new stalk with fog light switch puts in a new circuit that basically grounds the fog light input to the BCM and activates the outputs to power the fog lights along with turning on the indicator.
21. Then install your new brz stalk switch and pull the red lever once its in position, then install the wiper switch.
22-23. take off the original turn signal lights driver and passenger side harness, and make a new one by putting a new pin on the fourth slot. and tappping into the black wire for ground. Refer to..

This one rght here as you can see there is a blue plug that you need to push out so you can put your female pin connector.



Luckily i remembered i had a couple of these laying around, its not the same one but i tweaked it a little bit to make it fit



as you can see the bottom left of the connector with the orange/red wire goes directly to your fog socket.



ground it out then test it up, shiii works



finally! thanks guys!


24-25. install fog lights. your choice of hardwares. Just so you know the top is larger than the bottom. So you might wanna buy two different sizes of bolts. Also an Allen stylel bolts works best for me.



26. you should now end up with this
27. turn fog light switch on
28-29. enjoy!
30. Also ere is a fog light indicator inside the cabin!

You need to read the first three references for you to fully understand what is going on..
Please take the time to do some research... as I did as well.. But I hope these pictures will guide you.. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message!! Have a good one!

Hi Guys, I wanted to add I think I just found the part where I can make this kit myself for a fraction of the cost:

Here's the plug assembly that we need:
http://www.villagescionparts.com/sho...roduct=8465060

Here's the Stock Code:
SU00302583

Can someone at Toyota verify if this is the harness that we need so we can do this fog light plug n play?

Looking forward to nailing down a part number on this!
If anyone knows even the Japanese part number too!

Being in Canada, it's often times less expensive for me to order direct from Japan through Amayama.com

The only evidence I've found from the info in this thread is a wiring harness from ebay that has the part number blanked out -- grrr.... I hate it when the sellers feel the need to blank the numbers out...

(ebay link for reference: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOYOTA-GENUI...sories&vxp=mtr)

Thanks for everyone contributing to making an "as-close-to-OEM" fog light installation possible!!!
