Does anyone knows how to hookup the Fog light to Parking Light (meaning turn on parking light only and the fog light will also lights up). I try additional wire and attach both fog light wire and parking light wire together, it works for a day but it burn the fuse eventually. Please help me if anyone have done this before and works. thanks

GS has foglights. So a switch and the logic required when to turn on the fog lights is already built-in. With High beams on the foggies turn off.

If you add additional foglamp, I would also recommend get a relay. The relay can be activated by tapping into the existing fog-lamps 12V line. Make sure you add a fuse to the new line Battery -> fuse -> relay (switch) -> New Foggies -> GND.

Just in case it was not clear the actuating side of the relay ..

12V switched existing fog lamp tap -> sense terminal of relay -> gnd.
