Fog light rewired (FKED UP)

Whats up guys... long story short.. i followed the foglight rewiring directions from here.. and i actually tapped onto the wrong taillight wire. Since the space by the fuse box is very small, i didn't feel like redoing this again.. only thing wrong with the setup now is, even with teh car OFF.. I can use the foglight switch to turn on the fogs. My question is , if I leave it the way it is, would it drain my battery? Even tho i am able to turn my fogs off? Would it hamper anything else?

It won't drain your battery since the lights are off.

Dude, there's SO MANY wires, and they're so short, i ccouldn't even lift up the fuse compartment.. PLUS when i was tryin to tap into the wires, they're pain in the azz to connect being there's hardly any extra length.. anyway, if it doesn't drain my battery, i'm just gonna leave it. LOL. It looks sweet tho.

the only problem is, if you leave the fogs on by mistake when you leave the car then you will kill your battery cause the auto off function is bypassed.

I did it your way purposely, you can also turn the fogs on without the parking lights. Which is highly illegal, but looks nice nonetheless. Just don't forget to turn it off, it won't go off when you open your door like the headlights and parking lights.
