Default Wiring up rear edm/jdm fogs?

So I know some people wire these up to a foglight switch just as the front foglights. But I've heard of some people wiring the positive wire to the positive side of the taillights? & just ground the negative to some part of the body, So they can turn on when you turn your lights on & glow brighter as you brake. Anyone done this before?

pretty much defeats the purpose of a "rear foglight" your gonna turn the $150+ light into an expensive 4th brake light. why would you want to do that for?

I got both of them for $100 pretty much, I think it would be cool. Never seen it done before in my town. I just like to think differently & do things different from anyone else.

& I'd rather not waste 50 more bucks on the rear fog switch thats one reason too. I'd rather wire them so front & rear fogs work of one switch.

haha & Ill cut out some stincil's that will say vtec, So it says VTEC on each side lmao. I was thinking maybe wiring them to the rear turn signals? but idk about that but it will be cool to see. Idk I already have alot of switches on my ef's dash, I dont want it to feel like im flying a fighter jet & have to turn on like 10 switches lol
