should you not be wiring them from the parking lights, you may not want your dipped lights on the same time as the fogs.

I don't know how important it is to you, but what you're planning is illegal.

you need a seperate switch to the light switch btw.

Hella do a good relay kit.

Yep, otherwise you will eventually burn out contacts on your light switch due to the increased current load. Theres also a fire risk from overheated wires.

Why do you want to fit fog lights anyway. You dont really need them .

Is it so you can look cool?

Cool like a Micra?;)

no they look nice and r handy to have.. it has its own fuse and switch and all that.. just that when the car is on the power is still going to it so need to hook it to the dims power.. who said its illegal that cant be true

colm_mcm

It's illegal if it comes on every time the dipped beam comes on. they have to be able to be turned off the the dipped beam is on.
