Hi Robert, You may want to consider wiring these so they go on and off with the high beams. Of course it depends on whether these are driving lights or the rectangular auxiliary lights that Hella made some years ago. You may also want to check your state's Vehicle Code regarding auxiliary light operation. Some states require the fog lights to go off with low beams, and similarly the auxiliary driving lights to go off with the high beams so as to reduce dazzling the bobbies. Definitely use a relay and fused circuit. Pensionerd
