Hey I was wonderin if someone could help me with a question about installin my fog lights.....Im in the process of it right now, and I was wondering if it would be back if i eliminated the switch and attached the fuse wire straight to, lets say my corner, or headlight power. I know my foglights have to be off when my highbeams are on tho, so the corners arent a good idea in that sense...but in an electrical sense can anyone help me please???

Ya you could eliminate the switch but make sure you use a relay to power the fog lights and not your factory lighting circuit.

A relay is a switch that's controlled by an electromagnet.  Read here:
