your questions are too vague. be more specific. with such a broad question of "how is it done?" gives you the answer "a switch". you can buy a switch and hook up your fogs to them, if you need help with wiring and how to run the cables and such, then you gotta ask.

Blackmobile and Lino,

OK, my bad guys. I seen several A/C with only the Fogs on. What do i need IOT change it? I got buying a switch. I was under the impression all i needed was some sort of relay. How do i "re-wire" it? Will doing so, require me to add an additional internal switch? I am only trying to get the "jist" of how it needs to be done. I am not very savy when it comes to re-wiring.

Thanks

there's no relay. if you've seen coupes with fogs only, most likely they're aftermarket fogs that came with an independant switch. if your fogs are OEM then you will have to install a seperate switch. or you can splice your fog lights into a constant power source so that when the car is on, your fogs are on. but then you have no control to turn them off unless you turn off the car.
