I have the wiring diagram for the GS,
To use the factory switch: just have to short 2 wires, I was gonna do this a while back, but I was too lazy to remove the fuse box (driver side, interior) to get to the wires, so I decided not to.
Or using an extra switch:
You can also find the relay used to turn on the fog light (driver side fuse box), cut the relay open, insert a GND (ground) wire into the relay (on the GND pin control by the factory switch), put a switch to control this wire, put the relay back, then you can the control the fog light anytime time you switch the ground wire to ground (ie (-) )

Looks like another good DIY mod for your web page and CL. Not that you really need too, since you have done so many already.

well not sure i would agree on this one. in fact a lot of european luxury cars allow that coz' it's legal there. for example if you get a bimmer you should be (at lesat in the prev gen) able to turn on fogs and parking lights but not headlight. i kinda like the look sometimes

yeah I've been waiting to do this mod for the longest time now.. That's the reason why I don't have HID's in my Fogs yet.. i know on the IS300's it's a piece of cake to do it but on the GS's it's a tad harder.. I was going to have my guy at Lexus do it for me but he wants to run it off a different switch.. I don't want that.. So I guess I'll wait till Anh hooks us up with the DIY....
