Hey, this is a question not regarding this situation, but still related to fog lights. (i didn't want to start another thread, and never really had my question answered). I had my fog lights installed by a aftermarket place about a year ago. He made it so I had a switch to turn the fog lights on and off, but they could be used even when the vehicle was not on. I didn't like this, because if I forgot to turn off the switch, it would drain my battery. Also, he made it so that my fogs would turn off when I high-beamed. I want it so that the fogs can only be used when the car is on, but can also be toggled on and off with the switch. I just moved the power wire from the battery and spliced it in with the parking lights, but am afraid this is putting too much of a load on the parking lights. Is there anyway to connect the power back to the battery, but still have the fogs work only when the car is on, or parking lights/lowbeams are on. Thankss

if youre running the power straight off the battery they will always be able to work with the car off. I would re-wire everything the right way. Im sure there is a write up on here for installing fog lights on a car that is not pre-wired maybe that will give you the answer you are looking for.

you'll want to move the foglight power back to the battery. what you want to do is move the Foglight Switch power cable to a "switched" source such as the front Cigarette lighter plug. this way, when the car is off, there is no power connection through the on/off switch (so the lights will be off). when the car is on, you can switch them on/off by flipping the switch.
to do this without putting strain on any other circut, you will want to have the lights powered off of the battery. remember, it's not the battery that turns them on/off but the switch inside the cabin that determines the on/off status so that's what you should have rewired.
