If your fogs are coming in as a kit, It will have a SPTS (single pole throw switch) relay or just buy one form any auto store (under $5.00.) There's 4 contacts on the relay One wire will go to the battery, one to the lights, one to the power going to the headlights and one to ground. Basically, what will happen is when you turn on your headlights, the power going to the lights will "close" the circuit on the relay and energize the fogs. That's how I would do it. It's easy and safe! Good luck!

BTW, I have a diagram of how to hook it up but I'd have to search for it on my computer. Lemme know if you need it

Good God no...Not Bling lights

You can still wire them up the way that I explained except this time instead of connecting one of the wires to the wire that energize the headlights, connect them to the wire that power on the park lights, which I think are black with green tracer.
