#16 of 65 hot wire for Toyota Highlander foglights by steveg44 Sep 20, 2003 (9:36 am)
Can someone help? I need the color pattern of a hot wire to tap into to power the foglight installation. I found an access point to go through the firewall in answer to my post here, #15, if anyone needs that information.

It doesn't look like you're having much luck here. You might try posting your question in Toyota Highlander or Toyota Highlander Owners: Accessories & Modifications.   Good luck.   tidester, host

On the Sequoia there is a green wire that comes off the dash light dimmer control. This is the power from the parking lights. If you use it to send power through your switch to a good relay it doesn't use much power and makes sure you don't leave them on by accident. They will have power when parking lights are on, low and high beam also. You can also do the samething from one of the actual parking lights. Most of my fog light installs i run from the parking light itself. The relays and all power is fused and close to the battery area. I run a grounding wire from the relay to the switch to any convenient ground under the dash. If for some reason the wire going through the firewall rubs and short circuits, the worst that will happen is my fogs turn on but no other wires will accidently melt.

Thanks sequoiasoon for the reply. I will look for that wire. I presume it is the same color on the HL. I was luck to run the wire through a rubber grommet on the firewall. I only need the power now. Was that a solid green wire?

#23 of 65 foglight rocker switch - Toyota Highlander by steveg44 Oct 01, 2003 (6:23 pm)
Thanks for all the assistance in getting my fog lights installed on my Toyota Highlander. One last problem. I am using a Toyota rocker switch with three leads on it and an LED. The leads, I am sure, are connected properly but the LED continues to glow with the switch in the off position and the power in the car on. The lights work fine. Is there something else that I have not done properly?

See my Highlander posts. If the Sienna is similar to the HL, it can be accomplished as a diy. The HL has 5" circumfrence bumper holes with false grills in them, which I took out and replaced with Pilot 5" PL-62's. Email privately with other questions. geller44optonline.net
#25 of 65 Steveg44 3 leads by sequoiasoon Oct 01, 2003 (8:15 pm)
Most 3 lead switches are ground, power in, power out. It sounds like you have the power in and out flipped. You obviously tapped into a "key on" power source if the LED lights when you turn key on. The foglights probably do the same if the switch is on. There might be a diagram on the side of the switch, it would show a bulb between 2 terminals, one of those is the ground (3 small dashes) and the other would be power OUT to the lights. This way the LED gets power when the foglights do. Replies to this message: clubman1 (May 23, 2005 2:53 pm)
