fog light wire question
I added a fog light kit to my 2004 a year or so ago. It was wired with a relay that got power dorect from the battery and a switch I had to run into the cab that I turned on and off when I wanted the fog lights. After forgetting to shut them off yet again last night I cut the wire harness apart and hooked ground to a body ground and hot wire into the frobt running light harness from my passenger side headlight. SO should I let it be and run the two fog lights from the running light wire or hook up a new relay from the battery and use the running light connector to switch the relay on and off so I wont have to have a switch inside my cab again?

I would use the running light feed to trigger the relay since the load of the relay is much less than the lights, and maybe put a fuse on the direct battery feed to be prudent.
The dash in my 86 Bronco caught fire about 10 years after I had wired some unfused switches, good thing I had an extinguisher and tools to undo the dash close by
I now am much more careful how I wire things in my vehicles

Thanks for the reply, after that first night I disconnected the fog lights till I get a new relay. I went to my mom and pop auto parts store and the advanced auto and neither had one. Off to napa tomorrow. ....
