use a relay with power from the battery a solid ground and then tap off of your blinker wires for the trigger power and ground...

P.S. WHY GOD WHY.

I think running it independent so you can FUSE the power properly would be a better idea...

You'll just keep popping fuses if you wire it directly to the corners.

I would also worry about the MUCH higher draw on the wire meant only to carry so much amperage...

if the guage is too small and you fuse it so it doesn't blow you could melt the wires and risk starting a fire...

If you're going to do something as silly as wiring fog lights to be blinkers at least do it right/safely.
