Wiring Fog Lamps into Parking Lights..

seems simple to me...but I don't wanna screw this one up...

I'm not to sure about it...but instead of running the relay wire to a switch in the car and grounding that...can't I just run a wire to the existing parking lamp relay and splice that in????

I dunno if that makes sense...But I'm trying to make it so my fogs will come on when I turn on my parking light and stay on when the headlights are on...Tell me if I'm wrong...I don't wanna cut something when I shouldn't!!!

You can run the "on" wire to either the fuse for the headlights, the switch, or the wire going to your parking lights. All will work.

Don't cut the wires. Get those wire tap thingies. The ones you snap on the wires and just plug in the wire you wanted to tap into it. You know what I'm talking about? I used those for my radio install and for my tweeters. I got them at a hardware store. (Lowes)

all is well...I used the excuse of removing my bumper to fix my mesh that got a stone throw into it to go buy some fogs...just stripped the wire to the parking lamps and ground...and wrapped it on in there...Also...DIY trunk install...I'll get some pics on that soon...Kinda a ghetto rig maybe...but WILL NOT come loose...plus you can loosen from the inside of the car...
