How to Install a Fog Light Switch

Fog lights are a must-have addition to any car operated in areas of the country prone to nighttime fog. The low-mounted amber beam penetrates fog, allowing a driver to see much farther and drive more safely than with normal headlights alone. These lights are not wired directly to the headlight circuit, however, and must be controlled by a switch, which is easily installed by a do-it-yourselfer.
