Question on adding new fogs

Has anyone added new fogs(ie mounted new set in the bottom of the grill)? The OEM fogs are worthless and add nothing in bad weather. I was thinking of adding "yellow" set (80 watts) for rain, snow etc driving.

Does anyone have an opinion on this and suggestions on how to wire? (The set will have a relay. I am wondering how to wire the on-off switch to the fuse box.)

Yes tried search.

Thanks

if you have the OEM fogs, why not just hook them up to those wires?

Why not just get Hella Yellowstars bulbs for your stock ones........85 watt?

I had them for 2 years...........worked great. Need to get replacements....

lets say that I do add an entire new fog kit that comes with a relay.
What is the best way to power the on-off switch for the relay? (How do I tap power off the fuse box under the dash for the switch?)
