You bought fog lights without checking for the harness or the switch first? :rofl:

Just wire in the fog lights to your headlight harness for power. They'll just come on with the headlights all the time.

Drove my neon until it was killed in a flood.

I wouldn't run it directly to the headlight power, but use a relay so you aren't adding additional current through the MFS connector.

1) buy a MFS with fog light switch
2) buy harness that connects at core support and pig tails to both fog lights
3) install fog lights
4) Enjoy said foglights

Hahahaa ^^^ yay! "Electrical Elitist" my ass.

You can manually wire them to their own toggle / interrupting switch, or wire them up through a (home made) harness and pick a fuse source (headlights, most likely).
