aftermarket foglights

Hopefully this makes sense. I'm curious as to what the best solution would be for adding aftermarket fogs to either a Focus or a Legacy since both have clearance lights that double as blinkers. The desired end result is foglights that can be on whenever the parking lights are on.

Should I just tap into the parking light positive or will that (depending on where I tap in) cause the fogs to flash with the blinker?

Any help you could give me I would greatly appreciate!

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply! That helps a lot.

It also brings up another question that I forgot to ask in my original post. The aftermarket fogs that we have didn't come with a relay. I take it that you are saying it would be a wise idea to use a relay instead of trying to run the fogs directly?

mobiletoys2002, Thanks again!

GlassWolf,

In terms of legality, are foglights and driving lights identified differently? Since the lights on my Legacy are white, I would consider those driving lights. That said, yellowish beams I would consider foglights. Is there really any distinction anymore?

Also, if it will be a legality issue, couldn't the argument be made that Explorers get away with parking lights and driving lights with no low beams?

Thanks for the warning.

In searching the vehicle code here in WA, I have come to no clear conclusion regarding legality but it doesn't explicitly say that I can or can't have the fogs illuminated without headlights.

Silly laws anyway.

Thanks again for your help guys!

Thanks. I had a shop do the install on my last vehicle and the fogs were on whenever the parking lights were on regardless of the highbeams. Evidently the shop didn't care about legality but then I never got hassled about it. I think I'll just use the low beam feed on the focus I'm going to be working on.
