I was wondering if it would be possible and feasible to connect hid fogs to hid headlights so that they switch on at the same time? Is there a best way to do this or a recommended way?

all you have to do is just leave the fog switch on all the time so when you turn on the headlights the fogs come on to. no adapter needed. thats what I do

not i, the 3.5 has stock fog lights. which has a lil turn dial like the headlights do to turn them on. it's actually right next to the headlight dial

I added a switch so that the fogs would turn on with or with out the headlights on.

My car is the 2.5 base model. So there's not built in switch/stalk or cables to just add the lights. I have to add the lights and do the wiring myself. So, since I'm doing the wiring I was wondering if I could just wire it to the headlights???

You could use a relay harness and run a T-Tap off of your headlights so your fogs turn on whenever your headlights turn on. I did this, but I tapped my fogs off of my parking lights instead.

I can probably dig up a write-up for you later on if you want

Here's all u need. All OEM, clean install, great price. You get fog lights AND new stalk light switch. It'll work just as you want - with headlights + u'll be able to shut fogs off when headlights are on whenever u want to.

This one is for sedans, i'm sure there's one for coupe as well. Never mind 2009 + models only, it worked perfectly on my 2008
