UPDATE: I got the switch's illumination working and everything is pretty much finished.
Thanks again for all the positive comments!!! :D

:P

I searched and never found any solid write-up on getting this thing to work, so I did one myself.

Comments, suggestions???

Hopefully this helps people out a bit and puts down some fears about getting this kit to work.

Andy,

Awesome write up. Way to add to the community!!!

 

Great write up Andy. With clean fingernails to boot!!

 

Sweet! Have you compared the JDM fogs to the USDM fogs and is there a big difference?

Thanks

Proto

 

Nice write-up Andy! THANKS!

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone =)

The JDM fogs are a bit nicer. The inside of the lens is coated with that reflective paint/polish. I"m not positive it makes a big difference on light output, but to me, they look so much better - especially since my corners are clear.

 

You are a god among men.

Finally, some real help installing the JDM foglights.

I'd like to change the green bulb on mine to red too. Can you include that how-to later?

 

:D

Well, as I stated, the bulb is clear - the green color must be coming from the "lens" on the switches face itself. If you want to change out the bulb though its pretty easy



If you look at the top, there are two circles. The one on the right (the smaller one) is the access for the bulb. Twist it with a thin screwdriver to the left and then it should be loose so you can pull it straight out - you do need to persuade it a bit to come out.

Once its out you can pull the bulb out and replace it. I think its the same #74 bulbs though. I'm not sure what it will look like putting a different color in there and having it mix with the green though...

 

Great write up....

 

JDM


USDM

 

Hmm, maybe this be turned into FAQ? Especially with the number of peeps obtaining the JDM fogs.

 

hmmm...jdm and usdm..both are acceptable to the fuji.

 

Nice write up but you do know that you can buy the USDM fogswitch from the Toyota dealer? Bought mine for $30.00. I posted the part number sometime ago. I found it well worth it.

 

True, but one of the cool things about the JDM ones is that the switch lights up. Why spend an additional $30 when, with a lil more effort, you can have a cool push switch that even lights up

If you like the plain switch better, that's great, but I think the majority of us would prefer to use the JDM switch that came with the foglights, and have it illuminate.

 

Thanks for writhing this up bro!! Really appreicate it!!

 

Yup, I was just waiting for the "okay" from rAndal.

I added a direct link to his site in the Tech section. I'll wait until he makes his changes to add it to the FAQ forum...

 

Ok, I thought I should also add that I wasn't able to get the red bulb in there, the bulb I had is a #74 but it is like TWICE as long as whatever is in there, maybe a #2x series???

Will have to investigate further - do bB's have green interior lighting or something?

 

yo, we can take pics of our fogs side by side if you want a real comparison

 

The thread topic was HOW TO WIRE YOUR FOGLAMP SWITCH.

This thread isn't about foglights.

 

I know this is an old thread but the website you posted is not working. Can you please repost.
