Well, 
	When someone's following me I just turn off the regular lights ie
the tail lights and keep the front driving lights on.  

	If you're installing new fogs or driving lights in place of some
that are already there you should be able to use the same wiring.  You
might have to change the connecters at the light's end of the wire, but
that's no big deal.  Also, don't forget, you only need to run a positive
wire to the lights because the whole car is negative ie. the bumper.  So
you can just attach the negative wire to the bolt that goes through the
bumper.  
	If you want more light output, the best way to go is bigger guage
wire and cutting down on the length of wire between the light and the (+)
power source.  This is where relays come in handy.

Any Q's??
