yes you can. some of the aftermarket harnesses alow the fogs to turn on with the parking lights (corner lights). You can rewire the harness to work that way.

The last time I did this when I was 15, and it burnt the wire from the corners lights all the way to the engine bay harness on my Teg. I believe the fogs puts out more wattage then the corners. You dont want to hard wire it straight from fogs to corner lights without a harness .

Just do it the correct way and use the fog harness ,relay and fuse supplied or just pick one up at the local auto parts store do it that way.

Its easier than it looks if you dont know how to hook it up. All it is, is a ground and constant power ran to the battery and a switch. Its comes with directions on the harness.

But you can tap the fog harness into the corner light fuse, if you want them to come on the same time without a switch. You would want to run a fuse, you dont want to burn down your car.

why would you wanna do that?? if you want them on when your corners come on just leave the switch pushed-in or on, if you wired everything up right they should not come on until corner lights are on, at least that's how i got mine in my eg should be the same in the eks, i just leave the switch pushed in and they come on when my turn signals are on. now if you wanna do it your way just make sure you still use the relays and harness unless you wanna melt and probably burn your engine bay.

Because hes lazy and doesnt want to run the wires through the firewall so he figures half assing it is the way out.

Ive done the EXACT same set up on 5 different cars. This way, when I turn on the parking lights, the fogs come on at the same time.
