Re: Need wiring help with set of RAV4 OEM fog lights

I am assuming that since i do not have that switch, i also do not have the fog light wiring that many of the RAV4's come with, even without the fog lights, and if i did have it, it would be very difficult to install it and hook up to any wiring in the steering column. Anyway if you have any ideas please let me know. Your 07 is ALOT DIFFERENT in the wiring department than the 05 we just did.
If your willing to take few pictures for me of various components and check wiring colors and pin locations,
I am sure we an figure out if it is PLUG AND PLAY FOR YOU too.
But I am going to need your help like GALEN helped me on his RAV (05).
Your FOG LIGHTS system runs thru the BODY ECU. We need to figure out if the wires are there or not. If this sounds to time consuming then you will have to run a seperate system for your fog lights.
I also plan on installing some rear backup lights. I was going to install a set of 50 watt halogens, but i would have to run more wiring to the hood area, so i am planning on getting some LED's PIAA they look like they are under 10 watts each and i think i could splice them straigh into the existing backup lights and not need a relay or much wiring. Anyone have any suggestions or comments? This wont work and will overload the reverse light system, you need to run a seperate system and a relay for your added reverse lights. Use the factory reverse lights as a signal to the relay and they will turn on when you go into reverse.

Good Luck
