Default Converting cornering lights - foglights question

I read Rich ****'s very useful website detailing on how to convert pre-95 SC cornering lights into fog lights. Thanks Rich.

Question I have, would it be possible to throw in a rocker switch into the wiring to create a driver operated button to turn the lights on and off.

I was thinking of wiring the lights into the city lights. And figured I could add a switch, therefore I could turn on the city lights/driving lights without having the fog lights turn on if need be. And be able to turn on the fog lights when the city lights are on.

I am assuming I can throw the switch into the wiring running between the city light positive wire t-tap and the 86 spade.

Will this work, please advise.

Thanks
Biz

A switch should work anywhere in the circuit, although I would recommend you do run it off a low voltage source or ground like you said. I was going to use the stock stereo system's power/volume **** since it isn't really doing anything now. With that ****, I was thinking I could run the fog ground over and use it as a dimmer switch, which would serve no real purpose, but a cool mod anyway .

Rich, is it better to put the swich on the ground side or just get a relay and run the switch on the positive side...?

Manaray, you can actually put the switch anywhere in the circuit, shouldn't matter at all. I'd do it on a low voltage source just because I hate getting shocked more than anything.
