How to Install Fog Lights + Wiring Harness | 2005 Toyota Tacoma Standard Cab 

Glad to hear it helped you out!

Glad it helped!

I just did my intermittent wiper switch yesterday - Took about 15 minutes and like you, I should have done it years ago....

Thank you! Glad it helped you! ;)

Awesome man, thanks!

No problem man!

Glad I could help!

Oh yeah! Here’s the exact link to the fog light kit I used: www.1aauto.com/2005-11-toyota-tacoma-fog-light-kit-diy-solutions-lht01077/i/1alfz00061/1069536/2005

Hey Man, you won’t need an Add a Fuse, I found another way to get power through the fuses under the dash. Send me a quick email at odbrisuela36@gmail.com and I’ll send you a picture of my current setup!

Good to know!

Hey, It was just a 2inch by 3 inch TRD sticker from Amazon. Lol it only cost me like $5.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

In my case I wasn’t getting the proper fuse connection to turn on the whole system. At first I tried connecting the add-a-fuse to the fuse box under the dash and thought my kit was defective since it didn’t turn on the lights. (I think it may have been the type of fuses I used in the Add-a-fuse). I then discovered that my kit was perfectly functioning but I had to resort to getting the proper fuse connection from the engine bay fuse box. I recommend trying to find a working fuse slot through the fuse box under the dash first. If that doesn’t work then mimic my setup.

I hope that helps but I’m more than happy to answer more questions if you need help.

@@theyotaduo thanks bro i figured out the problem i didnt see the other grounding wire near the light lmao.

Hey Isaac, I got the wiring harness with the fog lights. It was sold as a kit. You could check out the link in the description to purchase the whole kit. If you need just the wiring harness kit, you could also find it specifically for your Tacoma, there should be some available online.

Thanks for asking! Yes, I definitely plan on getting a lift sooner than expected. I really want to keep my wheels and just upgrade my tires but I will be posting this project pretty soon... So stay tune!

That’s correct. Super simple and probably easier with a screwdriver in hand. 💯

I didn’t have as hard of a time removing the inserts, I just fiddled with it a bit. I would say try using a tool to pry with maybe like a flathead!

Can't be too tough.. one of mine fell out, which is why I'm here! 😂

The most reliable and the easiest truck to work on! This is the only truck you should ever buy!

Also, email me at odbrisuela36@gmail.com if you have specific questions about the Tacoma. We can go into more details on which trim best suits you.

Hey Michael, good question. So there are two types of fog light designs for the 2nd Generation Tacoma. The first design falls into the 2005-2011 year Tacomas. And the 2012-2015 Tacomas have a smaller redesign. Below, I have attached the two links of the two different fog light designs for the 2nd Gen tacos. Then you can find OEM or custom fog lights similar to what you need. 2005-2011 Tacoma style fog lights: www.suncentauto.com/torchbeam-fog-lights-assembly-for-2005-2011-tacoma-2004-2006-solara-2008-2015-sequoia-2007-2013-tundra-fog-light-assembly-replacement-with-bulb-waterproof-ip.html 2012-2015 Tacoma style fog lights: www.topgearautosport.com/152370/toyota-tacoma-2012-2016-fog-lights Hope this helps!

@@theyotaduo my man thank you brother! I been watching your vids today. I subbed 🙏🏽

@@MichaelMonsanto We appreciate it man! Stay tuned for more content!

@@theyotaduo That may explain why my wiring harness is different and I have 3 wires for the light switch. I have a 2013 base cab.

Hey man, I am running on 2008 Toyota RAV4 17 inch wheels. They have the same lug bolt pattern of 5X114.3 and I think they look much better than the, smaller 15 inch, factory steel wheels.

Hey Bosco, sorry for the late response. But I have emailed you and sent a couple of pictures that you can reference.

@@theyotaduo i would like to know too. Thanks

Great question! It is common for some Tacoma’s to have a pre-installed OEM wiring. In your case, you need three things: the fog lights, a 12volt relay, and a OEM switch to power your fog lights. Hope this helps! If you have any questions feel free to message me on Instagram @theyotaduo.

@@theyotaduo thank you I appreciate it
