So, I picked up another set of foglights, and i was curious if i could just run the power wire from them o my current installed lights? Would I need to put a bigger fuse in the inline fuse if so? I have everything to hook it up, it came with everything needed so not an issue if I can't I was just curious.

Also I know the fusebox has some open slots long the very top i believe? could i just run the power ( red wire ) to a fuse there and not go to the battery itself?

It depends on if your first set of fogs use a relay of if they are wired to a simple toggle switch.

If using a relay, like a standard 30 amp Bosch relay, you should be able to put the second set of fogs to the output of the relay (generally terminal #30 on a Bosch relay)

You may need to upsize the wire from the battery to the Bosch relay (generally terminal #87).

If both sets include a Bosch relay, It would be best to have each set of fogs have their own relay, power wires, and independant fuse. It would be possible to wire up both seperate relays to one dash switch though if you want all fogs to come on with one switch.

If you need, I can see if I can figure out how to scan a drawing and post it on here.

Well I did some debating, and for now i'm gonna keep it on separate switches. Reasons being as follows

1) I got a new dremmel i wanna play with it, works very well btw lol.

2)It recommends plugging into the fuse bx ( in the manual included) but says optionally you can go to the battery.

3) My first set is on a toggle/relay setup and are a more amber parking light than " fog light " so i usually run them in late evenings/early mornings alongside just my parking lights.

4) Been having power issues latelu, finally after 3 days no random battery dead or flickering lights. So i know this way that it is directly this messing it up, not me messing and re-wiring the relay installed currently.

But thank you for the info as well, at a later date i may run it this way and use them as a daytime running light setup. so if you wouldn't mind still drawing a diagram for me it would be very helpfull. It is an Italian made Blazer relay so i'd have to look up terminals on it.
