- In this video we install an "OEM style" fog light kit (purchased on eBay) on a 2012 Scion TC. We did not show the removal of the bumper because I have a separate video for that. • DIY: 2012 Scion TC Fro...
This kit overall works well but the fitment is somewhat lacking and it isn't a true "plug and play" solution. The wiring for this is very simple and I go over it in this video.
IT IS NOT THE ONLY BLUE WIRE... The correct wire is the DARK BLUE and SILVER STRIPES. It is NOT a SOLID BLUE wire. THIS IS A GREAT INSTALLATION VIDEO AND IS A GREAT GUIDELINE THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT.
Glad it could help.
You can also use a fuse tap to piggy back off the parking light fuse, its pretty easy and no splicing into the harness.
Thank you for this video. I was struggling with getting my fog lights wired up and i was struggling with getting the switch wired in and this helped me tremendously.
I'm glad that I could help, Big Foot. Carry on.
Thank you so much for the information in your video. Made my life so much easier and we need more good content like this. Thanks again 🎉
thank you so much, I am a dumb person and I was able to install fog lights on my tc, the first time I saw this video I didnt understand anything but once I had the lights in hand everything was pretty simple :)
Glad you figured it out man. It looks like a lot when you get the package but as you saw, it's pretty straight forward.
@@DIYAUTOCAR hey man I walked out to my car and my foglights were on, and wouldn’t turn off, I had to disconnect them from the battery, you know whAt can be the issue?
Super helpful video! I've been trying to find on for the gen1 tC with no luck, gonna reference this for wiring up my '05 inside!
Good luck, hopefully it helps a bit even though there will be differences.
Hey bro! 100 times thanks ! That really helped. Couldn't done it with out ya 💗
Glad it could help.
lncntv why he sound like kermit the frog
@@imreeflexx1878 why you look like Jake from state farm?
@@DIYAUTOCAR I wish I looked as good
I still don't understand the wiring process, you should of showed it step by step. I already know how to install the fog light assembly to the bumper, the wiring part is where I'm stuck.
How exactly did you close up the exposed blue wire with the red wire? Wouldn’t it be split 3 directions? Also did you have to use any wire crimps during the installation process and where did you end up putting the red wire instead of with the remote start?
Thanks for the video it was informative.
I'm glad that it helped.
I think the fog lights aren't flush because it gives the space for a lip to go on, cause I have the lip on mine and it make the whole more smaller
This video is very helpful thank you very much I will try to instal my own fog lights on my Scion tC 2012! Wish me luck I’ll be following each step that you made in your video 😬 just one question ? For the last wire that you mention(BlueWire) min 10:17 you had to cut the wire open to connect it together with the other wire that was left correct?
I was able to instal my fog lights with the help of your video thank you very much 🙏🏽🙏🏽
No problem. Sorry that I didn't reply earlier. I don't always get the notifications. I'm glad that it could help.
So did you connect the wire that was left to the blue wire?
Is all the extra red wire necessary to use for it to work. I tried leaving it out but battery clicking when ignition on, not sure what it could be
Hey what’s upp man I followed up your steps to your tutorial and I seem I have run into some trouble with the fog lights the they don’t turn on but the inside does
There something I might of missed? Or any suggestions
So the 2012 doesn't come pre-wired for the fog lights?
This particular one did not.
Just curious, if i don’t want the switch to be illuminated can i just skip that step? i really don’t want a bright green light shining in my eyes
We didn't try. I think she ended up coloring over it with a marker or something so it was not as bright.
Hey I know this was 3 years ago but I’d like to know how long did the fog lights lasted until u had to replace them?
We sold the car last year and they were still working fine. They even survived a front end crash that damaged the bumper and fenders.
what size bulbs are the fog lights? can they fit an LED bulb?
I'm not sure offhand to be honest. We didn't look at the bulb number/size. I imagine you can probably get an LED replacement though.
Awesome video! Couldn't have done it without you. Out of curiosity, how did you know which wire to connect to in that harness?
I also do remote start installations so I knew that wire was something that is normally connected for remote start installs. I looked it up the color on the12volt.com and tested it with a digital multimeter.
I Installed a similar kit on my 12 TC, wired the same way, but 1 fog light flashes while the other stays on solid, when I hit the switch again they just switch sides... any suggestions? Has this happened on yours?
No, this has not happened. They have worked flawlessly ever since we installed them. If everything is wired up exactly the same way that I did in this video then I would suspect that there's an issue with the fog lights/switch/relay.
DIYAutoCarage thank you for the fast response. I will inspect the relay. Very helpful video as well, It helped a lot.
No problem. Good luck.
nice video but you dont have to remove the bumper skin !!!
It makes running the wiring nicely a lot easier. It's not a hard bumper to remove anyways.
@@DIYAUTOCAR smooth man smooth !!
How did you do it without removing the bumper ?
Since when does Patrick mahomes have a scion tc?
This was the worst comment in the history of comments. Maybe ever.
Lmao
If they're oem genuine toyota, how long should the job take?
The process is basically the same. I'd say an hour or two.
You sound like Kermit
You sound like somebodies waifu
