if i had to do it i would just wire them in parallel with my headlights then put a heavier fuse in the fuse box and see how it went from there

i just bought a relay from autozone and got power straight from the battery. use the corner lights power wire(make sure you use corner light ,not the turn signal cause it will blink you fogs on and off if you use turn singal) for a switching source. then just run two power wires from the relay to the fogs and ground it trough the factory harnesses.

instead of wiring a switch and all that, just run each sides 2 wires directly into the wires for your headlights. left into left headlight wires right into right headlight wires

what kind of half assed way of doing things is that. you would increse the draw through that circuit and blow fuses left and right. like i said already go to auto zone and get a relay. it will tell you how to wire it on the box its not that hard if you can use some zip ties and crimps....

get a standard 4 or 5 pin relay with pins 85,86,87,87a(optional), and 30

Someone, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the lights are positive switch,

so connect pin 87 to a power source(don't forget to put a fuse on that wire) connect pin 86 to ground, and connect pin 85 to one of the positive head light wires, and then connect pin 30 to the positive side of your foglights, and then connect the other ground side of your foglights to ground.....

Title your thread so people know what it is?

And also so people can search for it so the repost ****'s don't come out from their concentration camp and start bitching and moaning.
