Is there any diff. between the fog light relay on Scion vs the Toyota relays. I know the colors are different.
I can't believe they want $50 for the Scion relay and that's with my emp. discount.

a relay is a relay.

you can get relays online for .99.. 1.99 at the auto parts store

 

WTF...I've heard that they make their money on parts but that is crazzzzzy :?

 

Ihad to pay 65 bucks for the fog lights relay. idk where u get them other than the dealer.

 

a relay is a relay.. 1.99 sorts you out, if you know about wiring

 

The regular toyota (denso)relay is the same it plugs in directly to our harness. I got mine off a lexus at the junk yard. I know a relay is a relay. I wanted a drop in one.

 

ok so i picked up a generic 30amp relay n wired it for my aftermarket fogs.

Here is the wiring order:

Harness color_______________ Relay Pins
Red w/white stripe _______________ #87
Green w/orange stripe ____________#86
Green w/red stripe________________#85
Double Green w/red stripe_________#30

ill snap a picture tomorrow of the harness i made to adapt an aftermarket relay so you get a better idea

 

i have not checked my fog light relay yet....
but the toyota relays are a unique design 4 pins only, and are small rectangles....

completely diff than the generic 30 amp relay....

 

hence the harness that i had to make to adapt it to work

a standard 30 amp relay is 4 pin also
as seen here:

i just had to figure out what wire did what in the factory harness plug

 

those .99 cent relays also have an 87a (most of the time)

the toyota one i know has a different base and pin design.

still, i don't know what relay my box uses for the fog lights....

 

its the same as the headlight relay... little blue guy

 

yeah, i had to figure out the wires too.
i was putting in the air horns, and it stuck....(that was loud and annoying...)
i thought i was pulling too much current an welded the contacts...
turned out it was a bad relay....
