    Hey everyone!

    First time poster here but im running into an issue with my fog lights not being operational. Ive looked up and down through google with no luck, tried replacing all possible fuses and relays and still no luck at all. This is on a 2011 tundra SR5 (5.7L V8).

    I just recently replaced the headlights with the morimoto LED, and got the amber morimoto 4 banger fogs to replace the stock ones. One of the original fog lights was operational for a long time (the other had burnt out) so im not exactly sure when they stopped working completely.

    Can anyone lead me in the right direction of where to possibly check next? Im completely stumped here!! Thank you!!

    I mean there really isnt anything to reverse. The lights come with harness adapters that plug into the factory bumper connections. Plus i think this was an issue before i even installed the new lights, thats why i went the fuse and relay route first.

    Step 1. Get a digital multimeter/ voltmeter and see if you're getting 12V at the foglight plugs. If 12V is present, then either the new foglihts are bad or it's more likely you have the polarity wrong to the foglights (because LEDs are polarity sensitive). If you don't have 12V at the plugs check for 12V at the foglight switch. If there is power there, and since you've replaced fuses and relays, you'll have a broken wire and or ground somewhere (common to both foglights since both are not working).

    What bluecrush said. you might have to pull the wires out of the harness and switch them. I think more than a few people have had that problem and that was the fix.

    Yes check for 12v/power at each one of the for light plugs while the head lights are on.

    If you don’t have power go look at the fog light fuse and relay. Also check the tail fuse as it is a factor is powering the fog light relay.
