Im trying to hook up some fog lights so that when i turn my dash lights on they will come on too, so i dont have to have them on a toggle switch. what i want to know is what wire im supposed to hook it up to? i can run it from my corner lights under the hood, cuz i had aftermarket gauges along time ago and thats what i did, but it was forever ago and i dont remember how to do it. so any input would be appreciated thanks! :D

I was going to tell you what color the wire is on the light switch, but you will have to tell us what kind of car you are driving.

if it's a 93 civic, then in the fusebox, there are about four spade clips protruding, surrounded by plastic, i believe it's the second pin from the left, that's a parking light feed, you can use this to power a relay then the fogs.
