The principle is simple this will enable your fogs to come on with you Full/ Main beam for that little bit of extra light on the dark, bendy country roads
The fogs can still work without your main beam for when it really is foggy, and you shouldn't get in trouble if you don't go driving past people with your main beam on.
Things you will need to do this is:-
1.Wire of a suitable amperage, i used 17amp cable in 3 colours blue, red and black to make this simpler.
2. A relay to control your new circuit (Can get them from halfords £5/6)
3. Pair of wire cutters wouldn't go amiss either along side a soldering iron if you want to do a proper job
So this is what you circuit is going to look like,

I drew out a more simpler and easier to understand version though to help myself a little bit,
How to wire it up.
The first cable will connect to you battery and tho the relay at the prong marked 30, this will power you fogs. This can be connected to the battery terminal on the top of the battery or in the little fuse box above the battery like mine,
The next wire is a Ground/ Earth. This will go from prong 85 to and earth point on your car and will simply just form the earth for the current to flow through the relay from the main beam thus forming a connection of power to fogs.
Next job is to ad your new power cable to the fogs. this is done by finding the positive power cable leading to the fogs just before the connecting plug (behind front bumper passenger side) the colour is yellowy orange if i remember correctly. Simply strip the wire of its insulation and connect the new wire to this cable. This then connects to prong 87, now you have successfully created a 2nd power source to fogs allowing them to be turned on via main beam or normal fog switch.
Not the best picture but you can see where the blue cables joins to the existing positive feed to the fogs in the bottom right hand corner and is recovered with insulating tape.
The last cable needed to be connected to your relay is the main beam feed which will activate the relay causing the circuit to be closed and the fogs to be illuminated. this will connect to prong 86 and can be connected to one of two places:-
1. Under the steering wheel where the main beam cable comes off the stalk.
2. on the plug to the plug that connects to you headlight bulb.
I connected mine to the plug on the bulb for easiness.
Either of these allow a current to flow through the relay from 86 to the earth on prong 85, thus starting the electromagnetic to connect prongs 30 and 87 together illuminating the fogs.
The relay can then be placed in the fuse box under the bonnet for tidiness and all wires threaded through into there. it also sits nicely in one of the holes already there.
Now just side back end enjoy that extra light on the dark country roads
Hope this guide helps some people, and if anyone gets stuck feel free to ask for help
M.O.T time simply connect a switch up to any one of the cables leading up to the relay to stop the circuit being complete, causing normal operation to be resumed
And for people who think this isn't a good idea don't post in this thread. This thread was created for the people who think it is a good idea therefore your opinion is not needed and the subject is not up for debate.
Once again hope this helps
