How to do - installing 96-99 fogs, instalation of stock foglights Options

[malpaso]

I'm sure I can't beat azian_advanced and his "how-to-do"s , however I belive at least one person will appreciate that (am I right Tina? )

Let's do some work...
1. useful equipment :

a) well known fog lamps
part numbers:
R 81210-20280
L 81220-20270



b) lamp brackets (you can also see already installed fog light wire from factory! just plug-and-play)
part numbers:
R 52015-20310
L 52016-20150



c) 6 screws (I don't know what "international marking" is, but we call them "size 10")

2. checking some details... If you want install them "by the book" you will need:

a) fog light relay
b) fog light switch
c) fuse (20A)

locations...


relay...


switch...


and fuse...


if you don't have anything, prepare to pay about USD140

part numbers:




*if you don't want to pay that amount see "second choice" way at the end (point 5)

3. switch swap, easy thing, just screwdriver needed... remove all necessary screws, disconnect plug with wires and just pull multi-switch out... For relay you will not need any tool. Just plug it in (it's "dumb-proof", can't plug it wrong )...



4. everithing done. Now just see how nice it works



5. "second choice" way. If you don't want to spend money for multifunctional switch swap and relay, just buy any switch/button and rake up some wires...

a) wires connect like this... (short circuit of contacts shown below, turns your foglights on )...


b) ...and if you add to the "short circuit" any switch...



...you have working foglights also
***warning*** : if you forget turn your foglights off (leaving a car), you kill your battery! There is no "warning sound" like headlights has...

Hope sticky this...

This is awesome, i guess the only thing that could be added is if you dont have the stock wires in the bumper area to hook in. Cuz i dont think i do =(. But nice write-up.

I belive all celicas has those wires from the stock...

[trdproven]

not my 94 gt. no wires. maybe usdm has no harness already installed.

I instaled two foglights this weekend (both 96 ST, one import from Austria, second import from Italy -> European versions. No problems at all )

[azian_advanced]

nice write up malpaso!
does anybody know whether USDM celicas (ST or GT) have the wire harness for fog lamps already?
also, i want to install my fogs with the euro rear fog button instead of the switch.. but is that possible?

Of course... use my "second choice" way and use that button . All you need is those wires... . Just make pic like this and let's see... I had my wires there folded and covered with black sellotape...

I would check my car if it has the wires but its raining

[ILuvMyCelica95]

awww thanks!

My car doesnt have any wires for fog lights at all. So i dont have the stock harness in there, which makes this a pain in the ass.

[snapshotgt]

Firstly, that was a great write-up!

Just to let you people know, 94-95 USDM Celica's do not have any wiring for fogs. So, if you want fogs, you have to wire the whole thing That said, it is really not that hard! I just went out to PEPBOYS and bought a little wiring kit, maybe like $10 at most!


btw, here is a pic of the 94-95 JDM st202 fogs (only "stock" fogs for our bumper -- kinda rare too ):


On my car:

Is it possible to sticky this or add this to the "How To's"?

[JFrost9]

snap do you have any more info on the install? I think this how-to should include a little section for the 94-95 guys that dont have the harness already installed.

[presure2]

GREAT job man!
added to the sticky!

The two pins on the fog lights that go into the bracket are held in place by a fastener. You need two fasteners per side.

The part numbers for these are:
90075-10817 Cost: 1.90 CAD

I did the second option and it works, thanks . what im wondering if you just hook them up where the relay goes will they not be as powerful without a relay?

You got a set of foggies now?

[Euphoria]

yeah bro, fully sick uleh, I think fog lights are a huge wank factor but the bumper needs something there and I didn't want un-useable lights there.

[Euphoria]

anyone?

[SwissFerdi]

Mine are aftermarket as well (judging by the non-stock switch), so I'm kind of intrigued by the answer.

[96stgreendemon]

ok just to be clear, you only use the 2 prongs on the switch or does it have to be grounded
