+12V wire to rear foglight should be green. If you can find that wire under the panel, simply splice there and route.

Matt, I still haven't found any LED choices that get the light out like HID's or halogen lights...HID's from Hella were a little spendy,
If you're writing about the clear spot with nothing there on the upper outside lights, nothing goes there...long thread on mud about it a month or so ago.
I'm looking at the lower reflectors just below them on my Cruiser...reflector bottom is even more or less with rear bumper step. I was under the impression that LX's have rear fogs in those 2 locations...am I correct?

what are you trying to do achieve by doing this exactly? foglights are meant to have a wide spread of light to make the vehicle more visible and help light the road up...
i dont see how projectors can help anything apart from making the car look more modified... but not achieving much.

White lights do a great job of blinding the driver, assuming they're in real fog,

Most standard, reflector based fog lights don't add much distance, I also wanted something that looked a little different than something with highs on - they are bright but glare is manageable.
What's worse - bright headlights or 12-14mpg?

Yes, the 2013-2015 LX has Xenon projector lows and 9005 projector highs.

But complaining about mileage on these trucks is crazy...what do people expect?I guess "what's worse" depends on how much real fog you get. When you can see ahead about one dashed line in the middle of a 2-lane highway, you need as much glare-free light as you can get. At that point, you just drive 15-20 mph and pray you catch up with a semi.

Where, approximately, are you in Idaho...swmbo are talking about some easy 4-wheeling up to Idaho City and maybe back to US 95 the back way. I'm generally about 30 miles south of BOI.
As to pics...how 'bout a vid?

I am approximately at the corner of Overland and Cloverdale, so very close to you! PM me here or on the MUD - LCHardriver_02 as to when you guys are thinking of heading out and maybe we can join. My father is in town and I was thinking of taking him out to the Owyhees on Saturday to look around, but I would be open to running up to Idaho City and getting on some fire service roads up there... if the snow is melted enough.
Oh, and as for my pic... I need to take more of the LX. :-)

So, last weekend we traveled up to Lake Cascade for lunch and to check snow levels. Looking forward to getting the LX out with the Lance trailer this coming weekend. Here is a pic of the LX while up in Cascade, Idaho.

Trying to bring this thread back to life...
I went out yesterday to see if the snow had melted enough to get to a favorite camp site, since the weather is heating up here in Idaho. We were not able to make it all of the way there due to slides, but I was able to try out the new tire/rim combo in some offroad adventuring.
And here I am trying out the Crawl control going back over:
