hi, what im trying to do is hook up a set of fog lights so that when i turn my dash lights on the fog lights will come on too. so my question is, what fuse do i hook it up to? or is there a better method to do this?
-thanks

 

oh im doing this in a 93 civic sedan. forgot to mention that sorry.

 

tap it into your parking lights.

 

this is a bad idea lol the parking light circuit is not designed to carry that amount of power through it, and will lead to more problems down the road, and no a bigger fuse wont work either haha. Now if you run a relay and pull the power from elsewhere and just use the relay to tell them when to turn on it would work but if the OP is asking a simple question like this i am guessing they wont know how to do this.

 

no lol i dont know how to use a relay like that. i read somewhere to just stick the power wire in along with the fuse and that would work...

 

i just dont know which fuse to use is the problem

 

i have my neons wired into my lowbeams fuse, its pointless.. just run a wire to your battery, and run a relay like justin said.. it would be alot safer

 

i would, but i dont know how to "run" a relay is the problem....

 

a relay just transfers power. think of it as a traffic light.. red light means no power, but when you turn on your parking lights, it sends signal to the relay to change it to green, which completes the circut. basicly, you would need wire and an inline fuse, connect that to the battery, then wire it to the relay, tap into the parking lights wire, connect a wire there and run it into the relay, then run the relay to the fogs power

 

ok thanks. but do i need to buy a relay or use one thats already on my car? if so which one would i use?
