    Can anyone show me some instructions on how to DIY install the fog lights onto a 07 prius? I feel like I've searched everywhere and the only thing I could find is a poorly made and almost impossible to follow PDF. I'm getting a quote from the dealer tomorrow but I'm sure it will be outrageous. Any help will be appreciated!

    Let us know what the dealer say about the price to install. I have been considering adding the fogs to mine just for the looks...

    2G OEM fog lights serve no useful purpose, they are strictly cosmetic. They might also irritate on-coming traffic when left on at all times.

    It is unclear whether your car has the necessary wiring, if not that will have to be run.

    One DIY approach might be to install a separate switch on the dashboard. The correct fog light switch is a rotary assembly on the light stalk, so if you wish to replicate that the driver's air bag has to be removed for access to the switch.

    You can obtain wiring diagram info at techinfo.toyota.com if you want to see exactly how the OEM fog lights are wired.

    The kit I have has all the wiring and the button, I just need a wiring diagram. Unfortunately the site you provided is asking for a monthly cost to view.
    Also, the fog light HOUSING may be OEM, but I will be converting it to HID after I get it installed to make it useful. And I don't plan on having it on all the time at the convince of others.
