well i mounted some fog lights (pics coming later today) onto my 84 SE, generic cheapo's but they put out some decent light. i mounted them in the central lower opening, im going to move them further in and back later this month and aim them properly as well, but for now they fortify my weak headlight output.
i also bought an orange light-up toggle switch, and mounted it without modification in the hole where the choke **** on a 12A should be. i want to wire my fogs up to my headlights, so when the low beam headlights are on so are the fogs, but im not sure how to do this, any help here would be greatly appreciated.

it should be fairly simple to hook up the fog lights with the lowbeams, there are three prongs coming off of the headlight, one is ground the other two are power for high/low beam. So you simply need to tap into the power going to low beams, im not sure which one it is, and i dont have my multimeter at my apartment to find out. DO NOT hook up the power directly to the fog lights from this power source, use a relay, a simple 4 prong relay will work fine, as will a 5 prong. Go to your local auto parts store, they should have some decent 30a relays, with hopefully a diagram on the back on how to hook it up, because i really dont want to explain it right now!

If you get the relay, let me know, and ill tell you which connections i.e. 30, 85 and all that bullshit to hook up to what and get us some pics already

k, will do, thanks

So you use the low bean power as your turn on for the relay? Then run a power line say from the battery or such?

10-4. When the relay closes the circuit when you turn on the low beams, the power will run from the battery to the other relay connection to the fog lights. Also, this keeps it legal, as the fog lights MUST turn off when you switch to high beams.
