what is this?
Hello everyone,
This weekend, as I was under the car and about to change my motor oil. I notice this wire hanging through the holes in the underbody's plastic covers.
I looks like it would go to my light, and the clip that attached to the chasis or somewhere; had broken off.
However, I am not 100% sure... anyone know what this is and is to?
My headlights, DRL are all working, but found this so just wondering. I did tuck it back above the underbody cover to keep it protected.

OEM connectors for fog lights.

Interesting... so what I am hearing, is even the F-sport can have fog lights. Although, by default its not an option due to the F-sport bumper, correct?
So... Lexus just left the same chassis, but swapped the bumper for F sport look and left the wires there?

It could be some other connector also. If everything is operating properly just put it back up inside the hole and do something to prevent it from dropping out and getting torn off.

Yes, they weren't an option in the US on the F sport models. You can buy the OEM fogs and connect them with the OEM fog light switch on the stalk and everything should work.

That does not look like your run of the mill fog light harness...Also, if it is anything like the GS, the fog installation is not as simple as it isn't plug and play. The harness is not sitting in the engine bay waiting to be used. There's some involvement in getting the fogs hooked up.

Today I was installing the OEM fog lamp kit from Nigel-JDMParts. I start with the installation of the lamps itself and then notice that there was a connector available on each side that plugs perfectly on the lamps, so I plugged them, then went inside of the car and before removing the steering wheel I start first removing the plastic garnish from the top and down of the steering column, for my surprise there was wiring on the pins 10 and 11 of the K23 conector, so I decided to try the new stalk immediately......... and then 😁😁😁😁 fog lamps start working perfectly, even the dash light for them works. 👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻
