First, I want to thanks Rez887 for the foglights and pinoyesv6 for the advised link (https://www.thegalantcenter.org/index.php?showtopic=47461&hl=fog)
I decided to work on my car and do the installation. Everything went well. But I'm concern about the way I trigger the relay (using the parking lights), if you see on the pic I'm using 16 gauge wires, but the parking light filament is thin. Can this can cause any burn on the parking light filament??? Or I better get the same size wire for the parking light to trigger the relay?

Thanks

I used the same setup and didn't changed the wires and my fogs are always on.

personally, i think its overkill but if thats all you have, thats all you have. im pretty sure you're not gonna kill the parking light bulb by tapping with a bigger wire since that bigger wire is just used for a trigger on a relay though.

he is right. i mean if someone like calipso can understand it, im pretty sure everyone else could also.

with that said, enough with the off topic and back to foglight advice.

My bad Guys, I rush to get out off my job last night @ 2 or 3 am when I posted this.

Well, back to the setup. I want to add a fuse on the relay, but I not sure what to get 15 amp or 25?

the fog lights should have had a fuse orignally. thats the size fuse you should use.
