New owner: somebody must know this mod

[mark_12345]

Hi All:

I'm a new owner of 2005 Tacoma SR5 Double Cab. Love the truck - best truck at any price! I'm a novice at mods so any help would be greatly appreciated!

My foglights only come on with the high/low beam. Anyone know how to make this modification so that it comes on with the corners?

I've asked this on other forums but know one seems to know.

I have not seen the wiring diagram but I suspect the change you want is not a simple remove a wire and plug it into the lighting switch. I believe it will require some surgery to the wiring harness and perhaps cause some problems you may not want.
That's just an opinion from someone who has done some electrical work on older cars. Clifton

Where do I get the wiring diagram?

From the 2005 Toyota Tacoma Shop manual. I don't have one so I cannot look up what may be involved. I do think making the change would require cutting and splicing some existing wiring.
I don't know if your foglights are relay controlled, if not adding them to the corner light circuit may overload the circuit. YOu may find it easier to disconnect the foglamps and add a switch and associated wiring to turn them on when you want them on. Clifton
