Fog/Driving lights
how can i hook up (wiring) extra fog/driving lights to come on & off with key & i will also have a inline switch to turn off manually if not wanted,I can't seam to get access to back of cigarette lighter or i would splice into that thought about putting a aux plug on the end of the hot wire to plug into cig lighter cause i don't use it but plug may get to hot ? i have heard of a tap a fuse ?. Please help !

That is how I have my dads fog lights connected. I plugged it into the seat belt fuse since his 98 doesn't have a spare slot like mine. I have my reverse lights connected to my spare slot so I didn't need a fuse tap.
You could run that to your switch and just turn them on when you want them on.
Or you could connect your factory fog lights (I assume you have factory since you said extra) and the aftermarket lights to a relay like I did. Then all the fog lights will work with the factory switch.
