Can i run my fog lights off of the amber driving lights? Will that be pulling too much power from the driving lights?

 

I have to KC Daylighter (150w each) for my fogs. Im not sure if it will run too much, id be curious as well

 

i have a set of bosch fog lights on my amber parking lights, and it works just fine, im not sure the wattage, but they are really nice fog lights, they came with the car when i bought it so im not sure how he installed them, but i know it can be done, and it works just fine.

 

buy the fog lights relay and toggle switch at autozone if the fog lights didnt come with the wiring kit. its not hard to do. IMHO, i will not use the light relay

 

the lights i got come with a toggle switch and wiring kit, i would just rather have it wired running off the amber driving lights for simplicity, i hate running wires through the whole car. I just wanted to know if it is possible without any problems. Thanks for the input, its greatly appreciated!!

 

i wouldnt run them straight off the same power wires. it will pull to many amps.. if u want to make em come on with ur parkers without installing a switch inside the car, just run a relay thru the parker waire and to the fog lights.. its the best way

 

As already stated. Unless you want a fire and electrical meltdown. Use a Relay.

Wire power directly from the battery to the input side of the relay (with an inline fuse)

Wire the foglights directly to the output side on the relay.

Wire in the Relay Trigger from the amber parking lights.

(By the way, I would use a switch rather than the parking lights as a trigger, but I love switches and gadgets)

 

I agree with DF, that you need the relay. Fog lights tend to not be low power devices, and when placed in the same circuit as the rest of the lights, you'll either be extinguishing fires, constantly burning and replacing fuses and connectors, or a combination of both.

I would rather have it on a switch, then with the rest of the lights, but only because I know there are times when more light is not needed or wanted.

 

i thought most fog light kits came with relays?
anyways, DF. is right on! use a relay or you might burn!!
