How can I install fog lights on my 2004 hyundai elantra 4d sedan?

[jobzombi]

I got fog lights to install on my car, I know how to mount it, but what I want is a schematic or a way to wire it so that I use both the switch that came with the kit and the cars lights stick. I want it so that when I have the fog switch in the on position, when I turn on my headlights, hi or low, the fog lights turn on. But when I have the fog switch in the off position, and I turn on my headlights, the fogs won't turn on with it. I have an idea, but I don't know where to find thr wire under my hood and what to do with them.

What you need is a relay.

A relay is pretty much a valve of sorts for electricity. Your vehicles light switch can't handle the current that your light need and the current that your food lights will need.

What a relay does is act as a switch so that when you turn your lights on, the relay will click on and provide another source of electricity for your fog lights.

Since the switch that came with your lights will be in series with the output of the relay, the fog lights won't work unless that swith is on AND the OEM light switch is on.

This site gives a good basic example of what you want to do. It also give an explaination that is much better than mine.
