    Just installed my fogs and for some reason my switch is always lit even the ignition is turn off. And worse of all the fogs lit when fog switch on with the ignition off mode.
    It must be the cheap relay is broken.
    Anybody know where to buy these replacement relays?

    Careful with that. You Definitely don't want your battery draining out.

    If you connect directly to the 12V aux. Is it always on even if you turn switch off? If always on could be something with the switch not your wiring. I bought my fog kit from Toyota. Where did you get your fog kit?

    You can do The rear lights. We have the same prius, so it can look something like this.

    Thanks to you and @RightOnTime. I was able to figure out what's going on. The 12v that feeds the the fogs and switch was coming from the fuse box. Instead of connecting it to the 12v aux under the dash. Will be rewiring it hopefully on wednesday.

    This might prove useful... Nearly all the vehicles (cars) I've worked on where I needed access I removed the plastic fender liner and from there you can poke your way through the hood release cable/grommet :)

    Got a chance to install Morimoto fog light. Might go back to my yellow LED fog. Keep the Morimoto as spare

    Thats too complicated for me bro, but thanks for the input. There's a little rubber nozzle needs to be clip and found a small surgical scissor at work that i can use to snip that little thing and feed the wire through the hole.
