i dont recommend a dimmer wire to be used to power the fog lights. its okay if you are using it to trigger a relay.
best to grab ignition power source that can take the additional current you will toss on the circuit.

I relocated amp to side space below inside trunk. Much cleaner!

I may reinstall my custom Corolla LED projector foglights this week. I had them on a switch before, removed them (long story) but don't feel like running wire again so may just splice into the DRLS. I use them any time my headlights are on anyway.

When I had my firehawks installed, the bozos stole my stock Lexus stem caps and threw on some generic lower-than-walmart plastic gray chrysler sebring style caps. So I went on Amazon and got some gun metal caps. They look cool! And real metal! But very very light. And they have a rubber o-ring inside for sealing. Nice touch! Cheap too. 8 come in a pack. Found them here: https://amzn.to/2M14Vkd

just be careful with these caps; they'll definitely rust inside and get stuck on the valves
used them on my winter tires and ended up having to get new stems.. was easier than cutting the damn caps off

i'll watch out for rust. maybe coat them in some WD40 or anti-seize. but i live in socal where it's hot all year long so should be cool.

the stock caps are gray plastic. but nice quality though.

you won't be able to see it from the outside, but yea, if you're in socal, then you'll be fine...
it was the salt and snow that did mine in for me.

wish i was in socal.. hah
