Wal-Mart Fogs in the TRD bumper by Jeff Church AKA Smaay

On a first note. These fogs came with a wiring harness and switch and everything. I didn't need them because I had factory fogs and I just used the wiring for those. These fogs use the same 55W H3 bulb as our stock fogs do.

First off remove the TRD bumper. Don't forget to disconnect the side markers. Now remove the plastic vent looking things that come with the bumper that fill the holes. Remove the little tabs from the plastic vent and attach them to the bumper on the lip. Save the self tapping screws for later use.

|
Now, the bracket that comes with the fogs needs to be reshaped a little…basically just open the bends a little.
|
|
|
Ok this is the hardest part. You have to make a good judgment where to drill these holes on the sides of the bracket.
|
|
|
|
Once you got the holes drilled, use the screws that you saved and mount the bracket to the lip of the bumper. Like so…

Ok here is the fog light out of the box

Now you have to mount the fogs onto the bracket. This is pretty cut and dry. Use the hardware that came with the fogs. The brackets might have to be squeezed together a little for the screws to start. Screw both sides down but not too tight. Keep enough play in them so you can make minor aim adjustments.

Here is a front shot

Next I unplugged the wiring harness from the stock fogs. Then I wrapped some electrical tape around the plug just to keep moisture out,

Now comes the wiring, I just used some wire splice clips from AutoZone so that I can easily disconnect them if I needed to for future bumper removal.
|
|
|
Once you got everything hooked up, re-install your bumper. Don't forget to plug your side markers back in. this should be your finished project.

These fog light are really bright and I am extremely happy with them… $40.00 from Wal-Mart defiantly beats out $400.00 from TRD. I know some have installed PIAA 510's, but you still can't compare the price. Plus these came with the mounting bracket. Good luck if you install these and enjoy.
