Run fog lights off headlights?

Is it possible? Just splicing into either headlights or corner lights? Don't care much about OEM performance at this point.

You still need to wire them through the fog light relay, as just paralleling the fog lights with the headlight wiring would be too much current draw for the headlight circuit. After you make the connection through the under hood fuse box and insert the fog light relay in the OEM position, you can jump the switch side of the fog light wiring to the switch side of the headlight wiring to make them come on with the headlights, and not have a separate switch.

What wires would I have to mess with to accomplish this? And this is on the D4 connector under the steering wheel, yes?

On Connector D4, to make them just come on with low beams, jump the wire in pin 3 to the sky blue wire in pin 8 (next to the pink wire). To make them come on with both high and low, jump the wire in pin 3 to the wire in pin 13.
