![]() However, if you would like to run it using the switch then please follow the next steps. If you would like a simple installation, you can directly connect the white wire to the desired fuse slot so the fog lights will automatically turn on once the vehicle is on. You will save yourself the hassle from needing a battery jump start for a dead battery. We advise locating a fuse that has power supplied when the vehicle is turned on because it will prevent the fog lights staying on accidentally once you leave your vehicle. You may need to get some additional 16-18 gauge wire to extend the wire to reach the interior of the vehicle. Once you have located the fuse, there is a red wire from the power switch (included in the Scion FR-S fog light kit) that would need to be tapped into the fuse. In this step, you will need a test light or power probe to assist you in locating which fuse slot provides power when the vehicle is on. You will need to press the button again to do this.You will need to remove the fuse box cover located on the passenger side of the Scion FR-S. When you do this, you will hear the relay click off, when you turn the headlights on again, the fog lights will not immediately come on. The lights should also turn off when you turn the headlights off. If all is well then see that they turn off okay when pressing the switch. Go outside and check to see that both lights are working. You should see the green LED illuminate on the switch and hear the relay click. Switch on the headlamps either to side lights, or dipped beam. Now push the switch back into the hole to finish the installation. Plug the connector into the back of the fog light switch. In my case, I pushed the interior light switch out from the back and found the connector taped to this. Have a feel around for the connector inside the hole. You will not hit anything as you wind, so don’t worry. Providing that you don’t want the blanking cover, you can wind a corkscrew into the centre of it and pull. You may have noticed that the interior plastic scratches very easily so we want to minimise this. If you use a screwdriver to try and prise the blanking cover off you risk scratching the rest of the console. Time to use that corkscrew which you have been wondering about. The switch location is to the right of the interior light switch. Now that the exterior work is complete, it is time to fit some more buttons to press in the cockpit. The fog lamps should peep nicely through the grille. Make sure that all the clips are aligned first. Time to fit the grille back into position. You have now completed the installation of the lamps. You will notice on the left side that the bolt fastens next to a solid bit of the structure whereas the right is quite unsupported. This is okay the reason is due to where the bolt is fastened. You may notice that the left light sits more solidly than the right. If you find that the lamps are angled too high unwind this bolt a little. Tighten the bolt so that the lamp is fairly rigid, and check that the lamp is angled slightly below the horizontal. The grommet should dilate but not to such an extreme that the screw starts to go through it. Before it is fully home, start tightening the two other screws. ![]() Slide the lamp back into position and begin to fasten the bolt. Push the socket which you unravelled from within the car onto the end of the lamp. There are two screws holding the fuse box down (circle in red in the 2nd pic). Use the ordinary push on nut for the other holes. Now you have to take the fuse box out of its nest so you can run the wires to it for the lights. You will notice that the fixing screws and bolts line up with the holes.įor the bolt, you will need to put the sheet metal nut over this hole (top right on both sides). The lamps should be rotated so that the moulded writing on the front of the glass is horizontal. ![]() You will notice that the lamps are identical and are not left/right handed. Offer one of the lamps up to the eye socket. I found the left hand one a little further back than the right. Quite often, they are coiled up and taped with white PVC tape, so you may need to have a bit of a rummage. Reach inside the eye sockets of the car and gently feel around for the wiring. Remove the fog lamp blanking panels from each end of the grille, like this: 1x Corkscrew (Bear with me – all will be revealed).If you have an older smart the difference is in the shape of the front grille everything else should be the same. This installation guide was based on a facelift fortwo. ![]()
