Question: is it possible to connect up foglights with the parking lights - thus when switching on the lights, they'll come with 'em?

Code: Select all

wire to side light-------------------------------------------------------- bulb
then you tap into it                                      |
and then you run the tapped wire to a switch |
then the wire after the switch to a relay      |RELAY|
then wire the relay as normal using your new wire as the switched feed

EDIT ok then that went realy badly ill try and remember to do another tomorow
