I'm thinking of getting fogs to go with my facelift bumper eventually, I just wanted to know how I could wire them to turn on with the headlights, or would that be a good idea? I've never messed with fogs before.

You probably wouldn't want to have them come on every time you hit the lights, but can wire them to go off with the lights so you never have them kill your battery if you forget to turn them off. Every thing else depends if you want them to look and run like OEM or just have aftermarket. As for me I don't do anything aftermarket, it always looks aftermarket!
You can add a light stalk with fog switch or like me and others went the UK route. That is to put in an OEM rear fog light switch in your drivers side vent knock out. You'll find the how to in the forum! You can get a set of OEM fogs for around $60 and the relay & wiring kit for about $10. |

And it happens that I have a stalk, and a "fog" button.....I was going to go that route, but decided not to do it. Mine are spliced in with my parking lights (butt connector, heat shrink, ground to chassis), so its pretty much: one click-fogs/parking lights, two clicks-fogs/parking/headlights (additional click for highs). Personally I didnt feel like going through the hassle of wiring everything up (even though thats really the best way to go). Ive had no problems so far, and Ive been running on this for about 3 months now.
