Default Fog Lights on Roush Front Fascia

Anyone know how to safely wire the Roush Front Fascia Fog lights so they can run with the stock GT fog lights?

By "with" do you mean at the same time, like all 6 lights (including headlights) on at once? If you simply want all 4 fogs to turn on with the stock switch, just splice the Roush fogs into the OEM fog harness. Now if you want the option of having either set or all 4 on, it will be a bit more involved.

but you can run the 4 fogs and the headlights at the same time? I am hoping this is possible.

yes there is a way....this is the way i have mine wired....when i just simply turn my headlight switch on, only the heads and parks come on but when i pull the **** out, all 4 fogs come on...this is accomplished by simply splicing the roush fog wires in with the stock fogs wires and taping over the splice with electrical tape...there will not be a dim in the light or anything, just make sure you use the correct gauge of wire for the current....

the roush kit instructions call upon installing a secondary fog switch that controls the roush fogs, and when activated, it turns the stock fogs off and the roush fogs on...you need to bypass that switch (dont even install it) and just splice your roush fog wires into the stock fog wires....

I was told by the dealer that you could risk a fire because you are overheating your headlight switch. The switch can only handle so many amps from that power. I think its too many lights anyway.
