My first video posted shows a method of installing a separate switch on the dash but this video show how you can wire it so that fogs turn on with your low beam so that you don't have to deal with passing the wires through. It is for Toyota CH-R but it should be pretty similar.

Exactly the method i'll be using when I decide to install mine. They arrived 2 days ago. 90 CND$ shipped to my door for the full kit. Fog, cover, wires.
I did this type of installation on my Sorento, so I have a bit of a background for doing it on the Rav, but the video will help not doing trial and error.

Only issue that I have with this method is that I got pulled over by a cop once asking me to turn off my fog lights since it was a clear night. I don't know the law behind it, but not sure what I will do if I get asked to turn it off with it wired to the low beam. By the way, do you mind sharing the link to you kit? I want to start on this project soon but just don't know which to buy. I rather have LED bulbs installed but I'm not seeing any complete kits with LED bulbs. Thanks.

Hopefully you can share with us on how you installed them after you are finished. There are many LE owners out there wanting to do this but just feel too intimidated to start taking things apart, myself included.

Since all factory fog lights will not turn on unless you have the low beams on, you probably don't want to be able to have them on by themselves. This too could get you pulled over. They also turn off when the high beams are turned on. Not sure of the reason for this but again factory fogs. I've had 4 cars with fog lights and they all function the same way.

in Canada, i am not sure if this could be a reason to get pulled over. I see a lot of fog light on during the day.
The plan is to have them turn on when I put my “night” light on and have them turn off when the high beam are on. I was able to in my old Sorento and the car did pass safety inspection with this setup. Again, i am referring to Canada, Ontario.
The kit is from ebay. They are all the same if you ask me. I will however change the bulb for a matching color to my headlights.

I am planning to writte a post and take some picture when I do it since I know there is interest in it, but I am not planning on installing until my firat oil change that shouls be somewhere in January. A quick look at it tells me i have to remove the fender and the under body plastic shield so I’ll wait for access to a garage and a lift.

Which light bulb are you planning to buy? Hopefully we don't have to buy ones that has separate resistor dangling at the end of the wiring...

This works for the 2020 rav to right ?
Does anyone make a off/on switchback bulb (instead of amber/white). If such a thing existed you could wire right up to the low-beam headlights, and toggle on/off by flicking the headlight switch off and on quickly.

I just did my wife's 2019- I followed bulletsolano's video as well but made some changes-
The driver side inner fender liner does not need to come completely out as stated in the video, you can just remove the first 4 or 5 clips and get the old covers out as well as install the new light housings-
2nd, near the steering shaft the insulation has a cutout you can fold over- I chose to run my switch wiring through here by drilling a hole- then installing a rubber grommet to keep the wires from chaffing. It just seemed like a royal pain to run it through where the hood latch cable goes through.
I also chose to ground mine near the relay box under the hood and mount my relay in a different spot.
I plan to change it a little, I dont like how the lights are wired straight to the battery- I'd prefer them to turn off when the key is off-

Let me know if you figure out how to wire it that way.
Video unavailable, does anyone know where to find it?
