Not on this forum.

>I just bought some fog lights for the Roc. I've already got a factory foglight switch(not wired up yet). I'm going to draw 12V+ from the ignition to the switch, then ground out the small terminal on the switch(so the little light comes on when the switch is in the on position). I then run the 12V+ from the other terminal(it's only hot when the switch is on) out to the relay. The relay will have power from the battery that's going to the fog lights when they're on, and the fog lights themselves will be grounded. Now after the 12V+ from the switch goes into the relay, I'm just grounding out the other side of the relay, right??   Something doesn't seem quite right there.

Sounds OK to me.   The trick is to not run the current drawn to the
lights thru the switch, which you've done.
