Rear Fog Light

[x67934]

Did anyone find the wiring harness part number? I suspect if you did the RFL would come on anytime the front fog lights were in use.

I did check the connector can be use with sienna, the rest of the parts i can get it from japan order online.

I had been meaning to post a complete DIY. Big plan - no action. Since you ask, here is the list of parts I used. The list doesn’t make much sense until you know I was 1) unable to source a painted bumper filler and 2) too lazy to get the unpainted filler, painted to match.

81480-60140	LAMP ASSY, REAR, FOG, LH	NOTE: LED LIGHT INCLUDED; PIGTAIL CONNECTOR NOT; PARTSNEXT
52553-60901	FILLER, REAR BUMPER, LH	NOTE: NOT PAINTED; PARTSNEXT
???	CONNECTOR	NOTE: AVAIL IN U.S. FROM TAIL LIGHT OFF CURRENT HIGHLANDER OR SIENNA (CANNOT RECALL WHICH); EBAY, USED
52552-60900	FILLER, REAR BUMPER, RH	NOTE: NOT PAINTED; PARTSNEXT

Got mine painted to match my Ice Cap but afraid to install with no help. Please do your complete DIY if you don't mind.

Welcome to the asylum.

Hi;

I've always wondered why this wasn't mandated here by DOT but is by the EU.

I might be wrong but I think Volvos still have them.

too confusing for the average operator of a vehicle here in the usa. Unfortunately drivers-ed is no longer a curriculum

Yes, sorry, that is for the right hand bumper filler, WITHOUT rear fog. I only wanted a RFL on the left. I bought that right hand filler so the paint (unpainted black) would match the left. Nengun and Amayama have loaded the 250 parts catalogues. If you search them for a non-US spec model, you can find the filler with the RFL.


Yes, just the left. Mine is left hand drive. I used a cheap switch I found on AliExpress. I bought a few to try. They’re like $5 to $8. I found one with white lighting (to match the others in my dash), but it was way too bright. I switched to an ice blue one which is normal brightness. I had an Amazon relay harness I re-purposed for this. The first switch worked out of the gate. The second switch I had to re-pin on the vehicle-side connector at the switch. I used the relay because I couldn’t find, and wouldn’t trust, the amp rating of the switches. The switch I used has an on-indicator light AND the correct ISO icon for RFL.

From the videos and pictures I came across doing my research, I found them with either a single left or a single right. I never saw one with both. But hey, it’s your project so you do you. It would be simple enough to run a jump to the second. The lamp is only 2.7 watts.

please post your DIY would be much appreciated .

Is this the connector you used? https://ebay.io/m/SY8q2S

It looks like the 2020-24 Sienna and Highlander share similar harness (22008-8A04S) stamped on the part per pics on eBay.
The Highlander part seems to be 81555-0E230 (shown as 81565D in diagrams) and can be ordered separately from the lamp.
But the sienna is only pictured with the harness paired to the rear combination lamp 81550-08091.

A sanity check on the part number and a DIY write up would be greatly appreciated!

Did the harness plug in to some connector on the LC or parts were canabalized from the purchased harness and you wired to a new switch?

FYI, the easy way to tell if a Toyota or Lexus part comes painted or is color coded for interior bits the part number will be three parts ie xxxxx-xxxxx-B0 (Letter and number to denote color code).

 

[Bad1975]

Color coded (Pre-painted) filler panel part numbers:

Disclaimer: Only use the color codes -xx at the end of the part numbers there is no information confirming these are for foglights. Example: RHD use 52552-60901-XX (where xx is the color code from below docs) and for LHD 52553-60901-XX.

I ended up ordering this connector from AliExpress - appears to be a match but will confirm it works after installing. I plan to run this with a aftermarket harness to an independent switch on left side of steering wheel similar to OP.

Here is the switch stalk for both RHD and LHD (rear fog light is a momentary position beyond front fogs on the turn signal stalk)

Disclaimer: from the research on other aspects of the 250 there is a high likely-hood this stalk wouldn't activate the rear fog lights, especially if the OEM installed harness isn't already present as all the signals from the stalk are CAN Hi and Lo and run through the Body Control Module as well as the two small modules in the steering column.

 

[Bad1975]

Rear fog lamp connector no harness:

FYI: Fog lamp part numbers are the same whether or not RHD OR LHD the housing is just installed in the opposite
orientation.

Screw part number is: 90167-50063 (Qty, 3 required per light) LHD two at the top one on the bottom and RHD one at the top and two on the bottom.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get something like the Diode Dynamics hitch insert brake light and use it for a rear fog light? I doubt there's a big enough market for a rear fog light to make a manufacturer do it, but it seems like a less invasive solution, you'd just need to be able to switch it on and off, and then just act like a '3rd' brake light when not in use.

Good idea, with a diode installed on the line to the brake function installed between trailer socket harness and DD hitch light to prevent back feeding the power into vehicles brake lights you could then add a switch to DD hitch light after the diode to do exactly that, slight possibility it may require a relay as well but wouldn't think so.
