Late reply i know but the decisive answer to the question is:
What is the switch rated at in amps? 2, 5 ,10 ?????
What bulbs are in the fogs?
E.g
2x 55watt bulbs running on 12V draws 9.16 amps.
55 watts x 2 bulbs = 110 watts / 12volts = 9.16 amps.
If the switch is rated less than this then it will work but fail prematurley like previously suggested.
Fuse should be roughly double the constant currant draw so in this case no less than 15 amp and no more than 20.
