A few rules to follow...
1. Fuse it.
2. Fuse it.
3. Run a new 12+ (Note 22gauge wire is not going to be a good idea. I almost always run a 12 or 14. Its a bit of over kill. But the cars dont come back.)
4 Ground lights within 16" (I see a lot people run a ground back to the batt or extend the wires and ground them at the same spot. Fog lights need a lot of power and kick out a ton more.)
5. For the turn on trigger all lights hook up diffrent. I will explain a simple setup. Lets say each light has only a 12+ and a ground. I would ground each light where ever I put it. Then run and fuse a 12+ back to the lights and use a STSP relay to trigger it. There are two ways I hookk up to trigger them one is just a toggle s/w and a head or praking light trigger. So they just some on when your reg lights are on. If you want to know how to do that just reply here and I will explain in more detail.
As I stated before all lights are diffrent. Just read the info the lights come with and you will be fine.

Find out if you want to lights to operate by a switch or if they are to come on with a low or high beam headlight. (thus not able to be turned off). A fuse and a relay will be necessary. Before a wiring system can be chosen we need to know how to trigger the lights.
