Well if I get this right, since the HIDs are being run straight from the battery, and the relay is triggered by whatever you want to trigger it, all you have to do is wire the relay trigger to whatever you want.

My friend just hooked it to the parking light circuit, his fogs are on anytime the parking lights are, simple, effective.
I'm planning on having it that way, or switched to the regular fog circuit, two positions. A matching 3 way switch that would go in one of the Lexus spots for switches would be great, a fog over-ride so to speak. If such a switch exists it would be the way to go.
But I'm planning on a hidden two way under the dash.

forgive my noobness, but is it ok to put a 70w halogen bulb (nokya), even though the stock bulb is only 51w?

naw you dont need yellow vinyls... the only reason to have both, if i were to do it, would be for the look

GL with the install =) it was the first mod i ever did and it took me forever! hopefully you'll have better luck!

it looks the same as with normal fogs... on certain angle you can see a tint of yellow from the bulb but i think it looks cleaner w. out

That looks really good! I ordered a pair yesterday after checking this thread out. I had 3000k fogs but something went wrong with the install and the right side wouldn't light up so i took the kit out and put my stocks back on. Hopefully there'll be no problem with these.
