I am awful with car electronics, and was wondering if anyone can post a walk through of installing the harness. I understand its just a plug and play, but a set of directions would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Hope this helps some. Watch "Fog lights on 2011 LS" on YouTube

Do you have the OEM harness, the PnP harness from Ofer or a aftermarket harness? Here is a couple pics for a aftermarket harness. Let me know

Step 1: Remove the 3 torx screws securing the wheel well liners to the front bumper on each side, this will allow access to backside of the bumper

Step 2: Remove the bumper plugs, by releasing the tabs and pulling out the backside of the bumper

Step 3: Install the foglamp thru the front of the bumper and ensure that the 3 mounts snap in tight

Step 4: Install the foglamp bezel from the front side of the bumper.

Step 5: Locate the wire harness on the passenger side of the bumper where the body harness plugs into the bumper harness.

Step 6: Disconnect this connector and put our connector inline, and reattach.

Step 7: Plug the foglamp wires into the lamps

Step 8: Connect the ringed terminal wire to the stud in the underhood fuseblock. See photo for stud location

Step 9: Switch installation: Run the single wire from the relay, into the car and find a suitable location to mount the switch. Connect the wire to the center terminal of the switch. Run the other 2 wires from the switch over to drivers side fuse block. Remove fuse #F17 (power outlet 1) from the fuse block and install it into the empty cavity on the add-a-fuse, then connect the add-a-fuse into F17. Install the ringed terminal wire to a good ground.

Step 10: Secure the relay up and out of the way with ziptie's

Step 11: Verify function: Should be able to turn lights on and off with switch when vehicle is running.

P.S. there on the site in the Installation Instructions tab.

My son just bought a 2013 and the lights are installedbut not activated,no harness. Where can we get the harness alone and what do they cost? Is there a stock connector that the harness taps into the system? There is no seperate fog light control switch on his headlight switch, like my 2010, so assume they tap into a stock connector and are on whenever the headlights are on?
Thanks
