Yes, and the correct way is to use a relay. The relay pulls power directly from the battery and uses the parking light signal to turn on the foglights. If you just splice into the parking/head light wires, that is an unsafe and ghetto way of doing it.

However you will not be able to turn them off when you want to. Which is why I like to wire up foglights so they turn off (even with the switch still on) when the parking lights turn off, not just when the car is turned off. Just use a relay to pull from the correct signal and draw power from a good strong source, like directly from the battery or fuse box.

Just use the switch. it looks good and then you have the option of turning them on and off.
