Guys,

I have installed the fog lights (aftermarket) in to my ATX 2007. I have connected the wire to the sockets that were installed my default.

Plus I have installed the fog button in cabin. All I need is to connect everything properly. I also have relay.

But when I looked under the steering wheel area I found very complicated to make it on my own.

This part definitely needs a good toyota pro electrician or some clever guy.

The problem is I can't go to toyota because of aftermarket lights. I am happy to pay cash for this job. Any of you have a good electrician in Sydney?

pls refer to the images I captured under steering wheel area

Well mate sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle.

I will start off with,

Have you had the car since new?

Is there anything installed on the vehicle that's not stock?

Hi,

I bought this car as used with 1 owner.

I have only aftermarket headlights installed but this is have nothing to do with the wires under steering whell as far as I know.

Also I have head unit (DVD/GPS) installed.

My point is when I removed the front bamper I saw factory sockets for the fog lights, then I found in this forum that this is the factory wiring and all I have to do is connect fog lights, install fog button in cabin and connect it to the wires under streeing wheel area.

The way to connect it is described in pdf wiring diagram for RAV4 I found in internet but when I opened the cover I saw that there are a lot of wires with no sign to connect it as I saw in that pdf.

I thought I rather get pro to connect it than do it by myself.

Ahh I see.

Well I would love to help you but I live in QLD 😔

I will do some research and get back to you on this one.

Are you able to email me that pdf with the instructions in it?

I want to compare it to the one I have and then go from there.

Is there any wires that are not connected or hanging by themselves?

Ok so I'm currently looking at the wiring diagram for the Camry/Aurion.

The factory set up has a relay in the fuse box under the bonnet. Does yours have connections in the spot where the fog relay would live? You can tell because there will be metal connectors in the holes/sockets.

If you can't find the spot turn the lid upside down and it should show you.

If not then it has to be done a bit differently.

If it does we can just tap into a couple of cables/wires under the dash and maybe put in a fuse if it doesn't have one.

Hi,

thanx for coming back to me.

To answer to your question - Can I also have a look on that diagram you have for Aurion/Camry?

Perhaps I have it under the bonnet but my point here is to connect FOG lights with Switcher/button in car cabin.

Yes you may, I have to switch to my iPad for that I'll get back to you in regards to that.

I understand you want to hook it up to a switch in the dash.

I'll explain it a bit better, sorry I've been a bit all over the place lately.

Ok so if we use the factory wiring all we have to do is connect your switch to the factory wiring and put in a relay and it will work legally because there is already stuff there so all we have to do is tap into the control wiring and illumination wiring and it's done.

If the factory wiring is not there, we have to run cables into the the cabin, get control power and load power as well as the illumination and connect them all up so it works legally.

Does this make sense?

thanx, I assume if there are the factory wires under the front bumper installed So there should be all wires ready to be connected. As you said all we need is to tap into the control wiring and illumination wiring and it's done. But how to do this without proper hands I don't know. As you can see on the images attached above the thread it looks like a mess under dashboard.

Ok so this is the one I'm working from.

Pages 150-155

That is tough for me to look at this diagram as I don't have such skills to understand all the wires.

My question How we are going to handle this? What steps I have to do to give you the right picture of all the wires and relay we need to connect all this stuff?

Ok so I'm still unsure if you have found out if you have the spot connected for the relay?

Please don't think I'm rude, I'm not trying to be, but going on what I can read here, you are not the best when it come to the electrical side. (This is fine not everybody is)

But this is going to make it difficult for us.

So I need to know if you have the connectors for the fog lamp relay in the fuse box under the bonnet be fore we go any further.

When you open the fuse box, there will be a diagram on the inside of the lid, if you can find the spot for the relay then have a look in the little slots for that relay spot, if it looks like there is metal connectors in there it's a good thing. If not we can get around it.

How you going with this?

I'm keen to do the same. Have already installed after market fogs, but saw the existing wires already there so trying to use them instead of running extra wires.

Hey mate, sorry I'm in the process of moving so I haven't had a chance to do much.

I think it it may need to go into the inside fuse box.

Had a look at mine and I couldn't find what I needed so I think it's inside, I'll have to pull my car apart and get back to you.

Ok so it's a bit complex to hook it up to the factory settings if you don't k ow what you're doing.

So.. I would just suggest getting a driving light wiring harness and just going with that.

It's not factory but it will work.

With out being there, being in the wrong head space or having an atx I can't do much.

Sorry mate, was hoping we could solve this.

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt
