Great video! My mechanic installed mine over a year ago. He said he had a problem wiring them so they go off when I turn on the high beams, not that it matters, these back country roads I need all the light I can get. Thanks for the great videos!
@VampyreX133 жыл бұрын
You would need to tap into the low beam positive wire with the red wire that I crimped the fuse tap onto if you want it to function like that.

Hi Derrick, I read in a comment somewhere you said you preferred the wiring on the OEM fog lights because it ties in to the stock wiring somehow? Could you explain what the difference is, or if one could modify the winjet kit's wiring to be like the OEM kit? I'd prefer to get the OEM fogs but most Toyota part stores here ask for about $360 Canadian before tax and shipping, which is absolutely insane for a pair of fog lights lmao. Thanks
@VampyreX133 ай бұрын
I don't know about how to modify the wiring to work with the OEM kit; that's going to be a pain because the harnesses connectors are different. It's been a while since I added fog lights to my tC, so lemme see if I can remember how it's laid out... there's a 2 pin plug behind the drivers side fog light hole that a splitter harness connects to that goes to the left and right fog lights. That plug runs to the relay box hidden under the car stereo (you need to add a relay) and then continues to the blank switch plate where you would install the fog light switch.
@jumanjingus3 ай бұрын
Wow, quick reply. Good to see you're still active. Anyway that's some useful info, I read somewhere else that most of the wiring is there even if the car didn't come with fog lights. Might be worth figuring out for people who want a more OEM setup. It sucks cause most of the price of the OEM is probably the light housings themselves, which I want to replace with projectors eventually anyway. I really just need the bumper inserts and the wiring.
@VampyreX133 ай бұрын
@@jumanjingus I may not be posting videos at the moment, but I try to keep up with questions on my Channel. But yeah, the main wiring from the engine bay to the car interior is there. You just need the lights, the harness to connect both of them to the OEM wiring, a relay (I think it's the 2nd spot down on the relay block), and a switch (the connector in the car should be wrapped up in tape). Maybe you can find the parts at a junk yard?

Hi I’m trying to find a good fog lights for my 2014 Scion TC. And I’m having trouble finding one. Also I read that it’s best to get the color of the fog lights yellow. Any help would be useful please. Also, how long does it take to install fog lights?
@VampyreX1310 ай бұрын
I put links in the video description, and yes, yellow (3000K) is best to use since it will cut through fog and rain better. I actually have headlights that I can change to yellow (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6POfauKm9tsgdE) to match when driving in bad weather conditions. If you're not used to installing equipment on cars, it might take 2-3 hours to do, less if you have help.

Hey Derrick! By any chance, do you know what module controls the Lights off when locked function in the 14+ TCs? I have a 2012, and I’d love to gain the function that turns off the headlights, even when left on the “on” position, when the car is locked. Sadly, Scion decided to leave this feature out on the pre-facelift TC2s. Which is strange given all 05-10 models have it. I’ve asked on many forums/subreddits, and no one seems to know. Thanks in advanced!

That's actually the first time I've heard of one of their kits missing parts, but it's not uncommon that companies can't just ship out the missing items. If you ordered it on Amazon, they should have sent you a replacement if you let them know it was incomplete.
