Default eg fog lights wiring

Wanted to know how to wire the fogs to the parking lights, so i can basically get rid of the button, because when i tried the first time a burnt out the fuse under the steering wheel for the parking lights and instrument lights. So does anybody know how to wire them up to the parking lights, I want to wire them like side markers where they stay lit always when parking lights come on no blinking!

you most likely have an aftermarket kit..

there are 2 leads that go to the fuse box, one to the interior light on aka parking light lead, and the other to the battery lead.

if you blew a fuse, you just swapped the leads..

Another thing to check is if the current draw of the fogs + the park lights is too much and that blew your fuse. If you really want to lose the fog light switch you could wire a relay so that when your park lights are on it will draw current straight from either the battery or another sufficient 12v source. I don't think your going to have much success directly wiring them to the park lamps either A) the current draw will out weight the fuse and blow it or B) the voltage being used to power your fog lamps will draw from the park lights, making both of them dimmer than they sould be
