When installing a TL fog light switch...Help
Im installing fog lights and from what I am told, the switch that comes with the kit is crap.
So, I want to install the TL switch with my aftermarket Hella fogs
1.Is that possible?
2.Based on this picture here:
I need parts:
#23 - SWITCH, FR. *NH286L*
#15 - BULB (T3) (14V60MA) --Do I need this part?
#24 BULB --Do I need this part?
With Parts 15 and 24 - Are they bulbs that illuminate the switch itself? Im confused ...
3. Do I need anything else?

which Hella Kit did you get?
It might help if you get the wiring harness for that TL switch as well...it'll make it easier i guess to make the switch work.
I'm doing the same thing...I finally got my replacement relay from Hella today; my fogs can finally be turned on again!

I just did this. You cannot get the wire harness from the TL. Well yes you can but it's the whole dash harness which is almost $200. You can not get just the harness for the fog light switch. You need the whole part 23, comes with everything. Here's my post.

Also someone PM's me about it so here's that post as well:
Not sure on the wires of the hella kit. I used PIAA, & the the wires going to that kits switch were red, black, & white. Hopefully it's the same. On the 03 TL switch, you have to cut the plastic around the pins. Just cut around it, & you'll end up with all the pins only sticking out of the switch. The PIAA's switch has 3 wires. The TL switch has 5 pins. You have to splice a wire to the black to make them into 2 wires. Crimp small female spade connectors to each wire from the black, & the white wire.(3) Use a large wide female spade connector for the red wire. Hold the TL switch with the green led facing the top. The pins should be(going down) Black, Red, Red, White, Black. Connect the spliced black wire to the black pins, connect the red wire to the red pins. Using the wide spade connector lets you slid it over both TL pins, Then you will connect the white wire to the last pin, but you will have to turn it sidways so it's doesn't contact any other pins, That will cause a short. Here the switch pic.

Like I said not sure if this will work with the Hella kit. The rest of my install is in my post. Also I had to change the pins around from the orginal directions from the TL board cause they were for a Honda switch. The pinouts here are for a 03 TL switch, an 02 should also be the same.
Good luck
