Re: fogs wired to parking lights??

um well you are drawing over 100w through small wires that were meant for barely 5w. so yeah i would expect the car to catch fire soon. goto suvlights.com and buy the universal fog light wire harness for $35 which comes with relay and thick wire. not worth the risk melting your parking light wires, which you will also have to replace completely once it burns.

Just go to your local stereo shop and pick up some 10 gauge wire. It'll be like $5.
