ZRE Hatch Foglights

[Whitey1212]

Hey all.

Thinking about adding the fog/driving lights to my 08 Ascent ZRE Hatch.

1) Anyone know what the going rate is to get them dealer installed?

or

2) Anyone know the best way to buy the kit and install them yourself?

Check THIS thread.

Save yourself a small fortune and get the aftermarket fog light kit from eBay which fits and works 100% like the original at almost half the price ;)

The sedan and hatch ZRE share the same fog-light assembly.

P.S. I will show you my set-up at the next meet.

Cool, that looks like it's pretty easy :P

Would you mind helping me out one day, when it comes to wiring it all up?

Or did the electrician do all the work?

Don't suppose you could let me know where you bought the kit?

Cheers,

Mitch

Just read this:

And, I also found that I'd have to buy the shroud from Toyota, as they differ between the hatch and sedan.

About $77 each for those, plus the $170 for the kit makes it about $330.

Plus this http://www.eziautoparts.com.au/relay-connectors-68082-.html (the relay) for like $10-15 posted (I assume)

Sorry, I didn't know that the shroud around the fog light is different between the hatch and sedan, it certainly didn't look any different to me, but I could be wrong.

I got mine from MARS on eBay as you have read, but there are cheaper ones out there from overseas if you're prepared to wait a bit for them to arrive by post.

I had mine fitted by an auto electrician as I wanted him to wire-up the push button switch to work exactly like the steering stalk switch and he supplied the relay as well. I can give you his details if you like, he's a local auto electrician shop in Kirrawee and can fit them for you in about 2 hours.

Just ordered the relay myself, $10, and the kit, $168 both incl. postage.

I know an auto electrician who has been great with me in the past - Quintin from Abel Auto Electrics in Taren Point - I'll ask him to install once I get the shroud off Ferguson's up at Hurstville.

I might get those details off you if I can.

Your auto electrician now obviously has some experience in the wiring for the corolla.

My lights should arrive in the next few days :)
