spaced in elt100: can i wire directly to battery?

okay, electronics 100 is totally failing me right now.

please forgive my stupid question. what do i need to throw in the circuit to wire something directly to my battery? the hella fogs im getting have angeleye leds, and i want them to be on all the time, assuming it wont drain my battery? also thinking about putting some leds in the corner lights, through the little vent.

thanks for the help!

If you are planning on running a wire straight from the battery, you need a in line fuse. The fogs you are going to use probably came with one. Your going to need to use a relay. I hope when you say on all the time you mean while the car is running. If you don't use an in-line fuse, you will destroy your fogs.

Like this:
Battery----Fuse------Relay----------Fog lights

i did mean all the time, even when the car is off. is this a bad thing to do? or something that you personally dont like? just the LEDs mind, not the fogs themselves. the two angel eyes and then two more LEDs, one in each corner

Although LEDs don't use very much power, I would still be worried about it running down your battery after a day or so of not being started.

Also, I'm just wondering, why you are interested in them being on ALL of the time.
