Toyota Rav4 Fog Lamps Install (Wiring) 

Glad I helped

She's going to love it

Yes. Super easy to install. Just pain in a butt that u have to remove whole bumper. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for letting my viewers know. Mine was US build not Canadian. You guys have your own plant over there

Yes lol. That white wire was already in that pin !!!! If u don't have that wire then I dont know... U suppose to have that white thin wire in harness already

@@IvanRossS gotcha, now I get it thanks! This video was great, all the way down to testing the type of switch the kit gives you. Keep the content coming!

Yes it will. it's the same generation of the vehicle lol

The only difference between yours and mine is a body style and more options, features. But overall it's the same car it's the same frame same engine and same transmission

Wires supposed to be already pre-installed!!! I have just basic RAV4 but please double check it. I'm saying this in the video that in my car wires was already pre-wired !!!

Pin 53 can be any color just make sure you tap into a proper pin number 53, if on you harness from the switch your wire is white (not blue) use that. So white tap in to white

@@IvanRossS sorry, what I meant was the small white wire that is physically running into the pin, where did that come from so I can splice the blue/white signal wire from kit to it and insert into pin 53

Yes they do stay on on the high beam. On my Toyota everything turns off when I lock car my car. It locks right away when I click to lock twice or it will turn off automatically after 30 seconds

Have no idea, my car done have those type of headlights. They on a new trim and new models like 2018 2019. It could be just one bulb there that project on all of them.

@@IvanRossS thanks for your reply.my rav4 15 drl just works with high beem and but the leds are there and dont turn on there are some i have seen on which they turn on

It's kind of hard to tell because Electronics is there different. U gotta look for fog wires and look under the dash to see if your wiring is the same and fuse box under the hood. If everything looks the same then it should work

Never did. don't have that car anymore.

Lol it's a same car. Mine was LE too, your newer 2018 model only the difference are trim design that's all. But it's practically same car inside

Awesome!! your the man! no one showed how to do with the pre installed wiring on how to do it ,this is more okay than the generic wiring with the kit! Thank you!!

Hi sir additional question, What is the wire size for that white wire P56,.so can buy the right size of self tapping connectors 👍🏼 thanks

My switch came with a kit

@@IvanRossS I did not order my kit and they do not state if it is a ground or hot switch. Any ideas where I can a ground switch or a kit with a ground switch? Thanks great video too

2023 ??? It's totally different car

This is really weird rule. I just tested mine and it's doesn't go of when I turn hight beam ON. I never seen vehicles that does

@@IvanRossS thanks. In PA we can only run fog lamps with low beams on. That’s also how my keep and Subaru work that came with stock fog lights

Does the switch turn fog light off when high beam are on? Is there a way to control fog loghts with the DRL?

@ivanRossS do you need to use the additional relay if you have a hot circuit? I followed what you did for a hot circuit and I get no power to the lights.

Does your relay work?? My was faulty. Used horn relay. Also check 10 amp fuse

No, they will not going to work without relay lol. ! Installing relay will close the circuit! Otherwise your cables will not be providing 12 volts to the fog lamps.

@@IvanRossS i bought the led fog lamp only comes with driver and open wires that instruction said just connect to ACC, 12V , signal light and ground . so no relay at all right?

@@karenyee9984 where is your signal light lol? Exactly ;) so you telling me that you bought a kit with no wires harnessess(plugs) and a button?

@@IvanRossS no laughing check on the web there is another new fog lamp model for 2018 rav 4 that integrated with LED and signal light. yours is base model need to install relay but LED doesnt

Yes. Don't worry nothing will blow up lol

@@IvanRossS well, I tried your method for both the ground circuit switch, and then when that did not work I attempted your method for a hot circuit switch by switching the wires around. Neither are turning on the fog lights. I have the black grounded on the ground screw, the red Ttapped to the red wire, and in my case, the yellow wire Ttapped to 56. All I’m getting is a light on the actually switch. Nothing changes when I press it and I’m getting no power to my fog lights.. any thoughts? I inspected both the fuse under the steering wheel, as well as the fuse in the fuse box, both 7.5 fuses seem to be good. I also tried swapping the relay in the engine with another, but that didn’t work either.

@@IvanRossS any ideas why it would not be working either way? I tried both methods. The only thing I’m not quite sure about is if it’s a hot switch it sounds like you need to use a second relay from the kit in addition to the relay you put in the relay box. If that’s true, do you have directions on how to wire the additional relay under your steering wheel??

@@petet7107 hello did you every get it working?

It does. Mine always turned light automatic off after few minutes. But if u lock it twice in a row it will It turn light right away, that does not specify on a switch.

@@IvanRossS do you have the AUTO setting on the headlight stalk? I have a 2013 RAV4 LE and it doesnt come with automatic off lights.

@@ericyao9092 no I do not

Some cars don't even have to have auto shutoff, they work on relay, after some period of time it will turn off for you automatically to save your battery, it's basically courtesy if you forgot to turn off your lights. Some carmakers have that, some don't. I'm glad my Toyota put that opinion . You can simply test that, lock your car with headlights ON and come back and couple of minutes

Yes should be lol. I explained that in the video

@@IvanRossS looks like the tricky part is to make connections with the button 😉

Can you make sure that your relay is actually working . I bought 2 from Amazon and one was defective...

@@IvanRossS I will try again tomorrow. I also bought a two pack and tried both relays. still nothing. I am going to try soldering instead of those t taps. I don’t think they are giving a good connection.

It should not ! you did something wrong. Also there is interior lighting timing. Check back in about 10 minutes

Your power wire is probably connected to something that's on even when the car is off

Mine was not working without it

@@IvanRossS I see. I will try it myself when my kit comes and let you know

@@IvanRossS mine works. The 7.5 mini fuse is needed in the engine bay, but not needed in the fuse box under the instrument panel

Was yours not pre wired???

Why would I show if I used original connection.... I didn't need it to use firewall grommet for installation at all lol

Lol. I have no idea:( I haven't replaced mine yet. But that T connector that is I installed uner the dash over time because loose. So I recommend to you something else. Maybe t-connector gauge wrong size

No. Of course not. It's totally different car..

@@IvanRossS what do u mean
