How to Hook Foglights to a Toggle Switch
Installing a toggle switch into your fog lights electrical circuit allows you to control them remotely. Flipping the switch to the "on" position completes the electrical circuit and allows power to flow from the battery to the lights, while flipping the switch to the "off" position breaks the circuit stopping the flow of electricity. Always remember to disconnect the positive battery cable from your batterys positive terminal before servicing any electrical circuit on your vehicle. Failure to follow that simple safety step can result in painful electric shock and damage your vehicles electrical components.
