    If you do go with these, they are not fog lamps and should not be used in traffic.

    This. You’d be much better off with real fog lights that are higher performing. Many options in the SAE thread.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-led-sae-j583-fog-pod-fog-light-review.554813/

    Those are actually cheap Chinese knock offs of an old Baja lamp. Baja sued the knock off company and they just slightly changed the cosmetic design to not be an identical cosmetic copy. Performance of course is nothing like Baja, with the knock offs performing poorly. Out of principle I would not support an IP theft company like the product you have pictured.

    To answer your question, any pod lamp in the fog position can run off your fog switch using the right electrical adapter. But again, those are not fogs, and shouldn’t be run on the street with other traffic.
