NOTE: these lights fit properly when the writing on the lamp lens that says "top" is upside down on the bottom, and the plug is facing upwards. it is the only way to fit it in the hole and be centered in the bezels. some people who can't contort their bodies the way I did in this video may have to unscrew the covers from inside the wheel wells to reach the lamp holes, or dismantle the dash to install the switch. not necessary for me. after installing the add-a-fuse, you have to decide yourself what to do about the inside fuse lid, and the lid can also be tricky to remove sometimes. the video could have been much longer but the one posted here was probably too long already. even though you saw me turn the fogs on as soon as they were installed, I still used a multi-meter just to make sure they were grounded properly.

We get really thick fog here in the mornings. I posted a vid of an average morning but it gets much thicker than that. I also think it looks better having the lights in those spaces instead of the stock caps. It's not an expensive or complicated modification for anyone with a few hours to do the work. I put a note here in the comment section and some other info in the description. hopefully the vid makes the install easier and provides a little encouragement.

Thanks for the detailed installation video! Helped me install mine today! When it comes to electrical I’m always just simply puzzled lol my tacoma looks much better and i can now see better at night!

My son and I just installed fog lights on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR. Your video was invaluable for showing us how to do it.

I already said in this comment section the word "top" printed on the lens should be at the bottom of the light upside down for it to fit in the middle of the bezel. like I say in the video @ 4:15, the light comes from inside, the compartment behind the space for the light, so the wing slides in the slot I showed with my pinky, and the top outside wing of the light screws from behind.

Did your fuse box cover fit back on properly after adding the "Add a Fuse" ? Also, I just ordered this Fog Light Kit from your recommended site and now it appears that the new bezels are included with the lights. Thanks for this video, well made!

sorry, but as I think about it, the screws for the outside wings (non-slot side) may go through the top AND bottom wings. remember, the lights come from the inside of the truck, not inserted from the front. you slide the wings into the slots toward the center of the truck, and then line the outside wings behind the tabs across from the slots on the other side of the light opening and screw them in place from behind. there is a screw/bolt hole on the relay for mounting but I don't remember getting around to hanging it. I think I just zip tied or twist tied everything somewhere on the driver's side. I realize I left out lots of little details but probably most viewers think the video is too long as it is.

they're the same as stock SR5 lamps. the Tacoma TRD Pro comes with (square) "rigid industry" LED lamps which might be a little brighter and definitely last longer. on the rigid industries website they have kit 46567 for $330 to give you the same stock fogs as the trd pro. some people buy this mb auto kit just for the harness, switch wires, and switch, then just plug in round LED lamps instead of the kit lamps. most other lamps can plug into this harness and the kit isn't too expensive to go that route. I know of someone who plugged Morimoto XB LED lamps into this MB Auto kit instead of the kit lamps. good LED lamps can cost twice as much as this kit. it's just preference, though. for me not worth the extra cost but others think it is.

@CoelhoSports

i installed mine under warranty and nobody said anything during my warranty service at the dealer. i guess it would depend on what warranty claim you were making and if whatever you did to the truck had any effect on the claim. generally warranties cover factory defects and failed factory parts, not aftermarket parts or alterations you make that cause problems. if you go to the dealer complaining about a problem, it better not be caused by something you installed or altered. for example, look at how many tacos have aftermarket lifts and tires, etc, that get warranty service all the time with no issues. if the lift or tires are causing the problem they might not want to fix what you did to it under warranty because problems from those mods are not toyota's problem.

i'm sorry but i didn't read through the thread on TW. i took a cursory look and it seems like that person figured out how to wire it so it can run off a higher trim light stalk the way the SR5 and up work from the factory. if so, that is a better setup in the end than my aftermarket type installation, albeit a pain in the ass to complete. my dash switch looks stock but if the setup you found avoids the add a fuse in the cabin and operates like factory, that is better. you don't have to run the wires through the bumper bar, like i did. you could just lay the harness along the bottom of the bumper to save time. i have seen people opening the wheel wells to get direct access to the back of the fog spaces but you can see in the vid i was able to reach down there from under the hood easily with my arms. i have seen people tear apart the dash installing the wires but i have NO IDEA why. you can see in the video where and how i ran the switch wires inside. just drop them through the switch hole in the dash and look underneath for the other end. duh. tearing your truck apart to install these kits is pointless. if someone else installed that add a circuit into their 3rd gen SR, i would trust them. i also bought mine from auto zone and it looked the same but it's hard to see the part number in the video. it shouldn't take more than an hour to do this mod, especially after already seeing someone else doing it. good luck.

there isn't anything but the crash bar beneath the front fascia. that's the only bumper structure the truck has. it would have been easier to just run the harness along the bottom of the radiator but then any radiator or other issues would compromise the harness. yeah, if there is a crash the harness inside the bar could be compromised, but in a crash that bad the fogs would be my last concern, and they would probably be also wrecked at that point if they weren't in the crash bar because the radiator would be pouring boiling water and antifreeze everywhere and everything in front would need replacing and first thing anyone would do is disconnect the battery. definitely not mandatory to put it there but that's pretty obvious as I explain all over this page and in the vid there are many different wiring options.
