Can I wire fog lights to the little bumper marker lights?

Default Can I wire fog lights to the little bumper marker lights?

My tib didnt come with fog lights and i was thinking about getting a small set of round ebay ones to bolt into the stock foglight areas. Instead of running all the power and ground wires to a switch, which is a pain, could I just run the power wires from the small little square bumper marker lights to the fog lights? I know they will come on any time I turn on my parking or head lights, but thats not an issue for me.

I don't see why you can't. seems logical. Not sure if there's enough power in that little red wire to support them, though. You could also tap into turn signals or headlights.

I've always tapped into low beams for fog power on aftermarket fogs. As long as there is a relay involved though, don't see why the markers would be an issue for your "power switch".

Yeah you can just as said above make sure you use a relay when doing it. thas how i have a set of aftermarket fogs done with the relay taped in to the side marker for the signal to the relay.
