what i did with my camry was just find the parking light wires coming from the headlight, found which was ground and pos. and just shaved off the insulation there and tied in to that and then electric taped the snot out of it. u may find a better way to do it. but that is what i did....

yeahhhh, that's not a good idea....

for something like this, you want to use T-Taps



just T tap the positive and negative wires to the parking lights.... you will need to cut the wires going to the fog lights.. but cut them as FAR AWAY from the light as possible, in case you change your mind later.... cap off the ends of the wires that are cut, run wires from the other ends to the parking lights.. attach the T taps, and ur good 2 go
