[Ando2 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Ando2]

Hi all I hope someone can help me. I have a 2015 GXL prado I have just got myself a new ARB bullbar with fog lights. ARB are telling me I need the fog light wiring kit as the ARB fog lights are 55w and the fog lights on the prado's are now 19w and is not strong enough. They need to rewire from the stalk. Has anyone done this or have a wiring diagram please

If that is the case then use the factory wiring to trigger a new relay. So run a new relay with a fused 6mm2 cable going from the battery positive terminal to terminal 30 on the relay. Run from terminal 87 to the the positive side of each ARB fog light. Earth them as usual. Take one of the Toyota positive feeds to an existing factory fog light and put this on terminal 85 of the relay. Earth terminal 86. Now the new foglights will work as if they were the old. No need to replace any factory wiring or switches. All up an hour to do. Make sure you tape the other feed so it cannot short out.

can you get LED fog lights to replace what ARB supplied?
Then no wiring changes required.
assuming the ones supplied are not LED.

You don't ever need to run switch wires.
If anything, you just add a relay.

Do you have a link or some details of the LED fog lights. I have the LED indicator and park lights but looking for a change of fog light. Thanks

Narva make LED lights but they are a bit smaller than the opening. I fitted their DRLs to the deluxe bar on the Colorado and made up a sleeve bracket.

6mm2 cable?

Ok but I wouldn't go less than 4mm2.
