okay, i go to a scion dealer to pick up a fog light relay and switch... but i walk out empty handed ... why are those tiny little things so expensive 75 bucks for the relay and 45 for the switch
anyone know where i can get these things cheaper or maybe an alternative part... i installed some aftermarket fog lights and thinking of using the factory pre-wire connection but not for another 120 just for a tiny relay and switch...

help, what else can i do... i really want to use the factory connections...

oh and also, for the ones with the factory fogs, can you turn on the fogs without turning the headlights on???

Thank you...

you should be able to find a relay at any auto parts store, if need be pull your horn relay from the fuse box under the hood to bring in with you, it is the same relay. as for the switch, lowes has some great rocker switches that fit right in the factory holes, i think they were about $5 each. a couple of crimp connectors and you should be all set. hope this helps.

if you want a great OEM fitting rocker switch. randode.com has one for like 8 bux. kinda pricey but its a perfect fit.

I just added factory fog lights to mine. I had to go look and no you can't turn the fog lights on without turning the headlights on. Hmm might need to rewire them.

^^^ check the link for the rewire...theres a way to ground it but it would be on constant and u risk leaving them on or you can add a relay and have them turn off w/ the ignition...

will those other relays will fit right on the factory fog light relay plug?
thank you for all the help, i was thinking of just wiring it separately from everything else and yes, take the risk of leaving them on when the igniton is off... i dont know, i'll just have to look into this more...
