OEM 4 pin rear fog switch fitted, and fully working! Options

[Wintersun]

Ok guys, I finally gave up on the idea of trying to figure out how the hell the 8 pin switch is supposed to work.

I managed to get a preface lift celica 4 pin rear fog switch from a member on CCUK.

Brown - ground/earth
Yellow - 12v source
Red - rear fog relay


4 pins:
1. Ground
2. 12v
3. Relay
4. illumination + (wired to my driving lights loom)



Fitted


All works as it would from leaving the factory.

The trouble with the 8 pin switch is that its more complicated than the 4 pin one, in regards that the 4 pin is a simple latching type of switch. Where as the 8 pin seems to need a coil/relay for the switch to actually work.

The 4 pin switch works in the same way as the hazard lights switch.

I have changed the green bulb in the switch for a red one.
