    So basically what's going on, is that the previous owner of my truck removed the factory front bumper to install an iron cross bumper. In the process they left the wires for the running lights dangling. They installed new fog lights into the bumper but did not wire them up to anything. So right now I have running light wires dangling and fog lights with their wires dangling and not connected to anything. Is there a way that I can hook the fog lights up to my running light wires? Is there enough power going through those wires to make my fog lights work? Is there a way that I would be able to do this that the fog lights won't turn on every time I turn the headlights on? I want to have a separate switch for the fogs so that they are not on all the time. Thanks!

    Depending on how long they have been dangling, and where you live, they might be corroded anyway.
