So I'm going to be wiring up my fogs soon and what I'm planning to do is just reroute the wires to the sidemarker and send those straight to the fog lights and to splice in the sidemarkers to the turn signal's wires so they'll both blink.
Basically what I'm worried about is: Is this feasible? Will I be blowing fuses? Any input is appreciated. This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Aug 8, 2012 - 6:43 PM -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

I'm confused. You're going to use your tiny low power wires from the sidemarkers for your fog lights? I would personally run new wires from the fuse box but that's just me. Seems like going from a 4 watt bulb to a 55 watt bulb on the same wire runs the risk of melting wires.

Yeah, I talked to a few more people and got it cleared up. I know what I'm going to do now. I just don't know a whole lot about wiring, so I thought I'd ask before doing something that could potentially be extremely stupid.
