Question Quickest Way to make Fogs run with Parking Lights

How can I do this in the fuse box? Can I just put a wire in with the fog fuse and any other 15 amp? Do I use both fuses still? I know this is a bad way to do it but I just want to know how

I would just run a wire from the parking light hot lead to operate a separate relay that turns on the fog lights when the parking lights are on. You might want a separate inline fuse (30 amp) between the relay and the fog lights or between the battery and the relay. That's how I would do it anyway. Get that relay (30 amp) at any O'Reilly or PepBoys.

Ditto on what Rev said.

Using or setting up the relay is no big deal. If you dont your switch/toggle can get super hot and burn up.

Is there a website that shows how to set it up?

When I got the car it had a small wire going from one fuse to another in the box. I took it out cuz I didn't know what it was. Then I realized it made the foglights work alone and I want that back, it worked fine for me. If I have the car like that its only for dusk and I don't think it will get too hot.
