Just leave your fog switch in its 'on' position, and then anytime you flip on your headlights the fogs will be on also.

but the thing is,

i don't wanna do any wiring from outside to inside, and i don't want a switch,

i just want them join together, can i do that???

installing a switch by myself is a pain... i don't like how i have to do the wiring and stuff...

Cmonnn theres not that much wiring to do for the fogs...but if you really don't like work that much then you could possibly tap into the headlights(lowbeams) and use a relay. Hence the fogs will get their own power from the battery and only receive a signal from the lowbeams(headlights)

Well from what i understand you just want to split the power/signal that goes to the lowbeams and send it to the fogs as well. Which yes would make things very easy i guess...

Now im no electrician but only issue i see is possibly putting a strain on the oem headlight wire, hence why i suggested getting the power from the battery and just picking up the on/off signal from the oem headlight wire.


As for a splitter to do what you're mentioning, ive never seen one.

I would think this would probably work and you'd be using the harness that came with the fogs.

However, do not attempt it yet unitl someone actually confirms the above makes sense when it comes to electricals wise. I dont want you burning or blowing anything.
