yeah its possible, dunno how much work involved but you would have to wire your fogs in parralel with your main beam, and aslong as your exsisting cable can take the extra lights, suppose with right tools and connectors wouldnt take long

I know it's a very difficult concept, but if you really think long and hard about it you may understand.

FOG Lights are used in fog or reduced visibility, not as an adjunct to your lights to help you see when driving in the dark or on unlit roads.

Not only is it illegal, (breech of the Motor Vehicle Lighting Regulations - Statutory Instrument 1989 No. 1796), but you can dazzle oncoming motorists and more importantly, you look a bit of a bell-end.

But hey, perhaps none of these are important to you, in which case find a competent auto electrician and as the others say, uprate the lighting cable to the main beam circuit to take the extra load and wire to the main beam switch, possibly via a relay. Then in 12 months come back here to tell everyone how unfair it is that the garages are picking on you because you've failed your MOT

Its possible...

Just attach the fog light wires to the main beam wires using scotch locks.

Although you can get done for using fog lights when not needed and you will also fail your M.O.T
