    Ok. So my connector has 2 pink wires.

    See pic. #1 is where I originally spliced. That "worked" except I could not independently turn off the fogs and there is a little byproduct of the lights come by on by themselves after 21 min. This that have done this...is it the OTHER pink wire? (#2)?

    I think you want grey wire. But don't take my work for it. Here's what someone else wrote up and that I followed. thttp://tundrageeks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9760he

    Nope. This is definitely pink wire territory. Lol. Only problem wth the original write up is nonpic if the no kidding pink wire...and apparently I have 2. Bah!!! Well it's back to stock now.

    I believe #2 is the wire you want... I am color blind(pink=gray)lol. However the write up I followed said it was 3rd wire up from the bottom left... as you look at it plugged in. Not sure if you wanna give it another go, but you had it half right...fogs were coming on, I imagine that pink wire has something to do with something else the truck turns on after it's been off for a while... anti theft maybe? Either way, use the gray wire 3rd up from bottom left and you'll be solid.

    Bear, sorry in your pic it look like the #2 was pointing to the gray in front, but I see the you are pointing to the pink in the back. In your pic the gray wire on the bottom left, third from the bottom is the wire you want. It's the wire I used anyway. Hope that helps.

    Ok. For clarification's sake for the 2016 guys...

    The 2014 write up in original post is correct! However, it wasn't very clear, photographically, as to which pink wire in the ECU connector, was the correct wire. It's pin #28...This is the connector that is under the dash panels, NOT the connector under the kick panel. IMG_3145.jpg I've drawn a green arrow to the correct wire. Many thanks to the members that took time out of their day to provide me the specific info! Great site!!

    I need to go back and re-read this thread, ha. Having the fogs on sounds like a good thing to me. So it's just cut and splice a couple wires. Sounds easy enough.

    I just switched out my fogs for Baja designs. Now I feel they will work better in fog or snow without the headlights (because the fogs are wrapped in amber laminix).

    Is this the reason everyone else is doing this mod?

    i have a 08 sr5 that did not have fogs on it. i bought a pair off craigs list but for some reason they cut the plug off the back. any way i just wired them to the battery and spliced into the drl wire by the headlight. drl on=fogs off, park lights on = fog lights on, headlights on low beam=fogs on, headlights on high beam=fog lights on. i need to wire them up correctly to the factory harness, but need to get the fog light relay, push button switch and find the plug under the dash for the switch

    i should rephrase this comment, i spliced into the parking light wire not the drl wire. on the harness that goes to the drl,turn signal,park light, i think it was the purple wire

    I found the pink wire under the dash with no problem, but I can't find the gray wire where the Kick Panel is. Where it should be is a White Wire and that does not work. I tried it and all sorts of dash lights came on... so that's not it. Any help from the 2016 guys that got this working??
    Thanks

    It is one of the two mods listed at the top of the thread. There are additional pictures on the second page of the thread to help decifier which wires you need to splice together. All together, took about 20-30 minutes to complete.

    I wouldn't think that this would work for models beyound 2013, but I could be wrong. I'd definitely do more research for your model year before cutting into anything. Best of luck friend.

    I see the PDF is for earlier model Tundras. Will this work as well for a 2017? Are the wires to connect all in the same locations and same colors as the PDF?

    It'll work just fine. Just keep in mind there are 2 gray wires. Don't snip the wrong gray wire. I just did this mod last weekend. Works like a charm.
