Default Need help fog lights.

I know some people may not like, but please dont flame..
I am wondering if i purchase a foglight kit, how do i wire it so it turns on with headlights? I plan on installing it behind the grills so its not as noticeable

I plan on getting something like this.

the simple version: wire an spst relay to either one of your headlights. then connect your fog lights through that relay.

DO NOT connect your fog lights directly to your headlight's power wires.

If you don't know what a relay is, and you don't seem to have the ability/will to find out on your own, I think this project may be a bit beyond you.

A relay relays the ON/OFF signal from the headlight. Power is from a sourse other than the source that powers the headlight.
