yea well i never turn my fogs off to begin with so it worked out.
its easy you guys, the positive connection thats going from your car into the ballast just snip it and splice it into the positive wire of the sidemarkers.

This may cause the wires to be getting really hot somewhere, possibly hot to the point of starting a fire etc...under the right conditions (a hot day for example). It would be in your best interest to add a relay to each side. They are very simple to install and will only run about $5 per side but will make sure you don't overload that circuit and start a fire etc....the also *may* give you a little more output if you are indeed currently starving the ballasts for power, it's a win-win situation. If you aren't familiar with how to wire a relay I can walk you through it, it's pretty easy.

Just a heads up, you may run into issues by installing it that way. The lights in your corners lights are a very low wattage/amperage and the circuit is only designed for such a bulb. First of all your HID's spike when you initially turn them on which would just blow the fuse but when used normally (after the initial spike) will most likely pull considerably more amperage through that circuit than the little corner light you already have hooked on there.

I remember someone saying just extend the Headlight bulbs to reach the Fogs and the Fog light bulbs to reach the Headlights with I actually think *haven't done it* that you won't have to tap into any wires. Let me know if anyone has done it this way.
