Multi purpose fog lights

I'm installing LED fog lights on my 99 ford ranger I'm wiring them to my headlights my question is can I run a wire to my turn signals as well so I can use them as turn signals also

I didn't know if I could splice a wire from my turn signals to the positive wire on the fog lights

Do you want them to blink even when the fogs aren't on with the headlights?

I want them to be on when my low beams are on and then turn off when I have my high beams on but I would also like them to turn on when I just have my marker lights on also

Better check with your State Laws, to make sure its ok to have the Fog Lamps also act as blinkers, as theyre not amber colored.

In any case you'd want to have the blink function controlled by a fused relay, so its making & breaking contacts are carrying/switching the fog lamp filiments electrical load.
