Default 2012 Headlights & Fogs

Maybe someone can help me with this,
I have the 2012 headlights from Sewell, the way they wired the headlights:
0 -Everything Off
I -LED(100%) + Parking lights on
II - LED(100%) + Parking + Headlights all on
_______________________________________

Many cut of the green wires on both headlights and connect them to the IG2 fuse so the LEDs can be on without turning to I

(I know there is a DIY for fogs)
Anyone tried to connect the other end of the green wires to the fogs to make them come on at I.
Pros/Cons to this method?

Wonder if this gonna work, now when you turn on the parking lights the fogs will be on as well, dont know if it a good thing since its gonna be another 110W added from the 1st click.

LED's do not draw much power. If you're going to power something like the fog lights, you're going to need a better power source and a relay to turn it on.

^ that's what I was thinking,
Those LEDs are pretty bright tho, anyone know the wattage on each? I think they're 3w? And there r 12 of them so still 36w (if 3w/each)
