fog light mod, with KCs

I want to wire my ranger for the fog light mod were they stay on when the high beams go on. But thats a different thread. My question is: can i wire some KCs to my 05 fog light switch in the cab with the fog light mod?

Are you replacing your fogs w/KC's? If your not, your KC's will be staying on when your high beems are on and that could be a problem with the police.

As long as you only run the fogs/KCs off road, you could branch off the foglight power lead to a relay to power the KCs

Ok. Im probably totally misunderstanding this.
So I have a switch in the cab to turn my fogs on. I want to run 2 KCs to that switch, so when I go off-roading or on a trail at night I'll just flip the switch and all 4 lights will turn on. Now i want to be able to keep those fogs on when I flip the high beams on. But the high beams don't need to be on for the Fogs to be on. This is Possible Right?

You would have to run a secondary switch to turn the KCs on and off as well. What your saying is possible. For the KC relay power you just tap into the fog light power. If you have done the fog light mod then the KCs will stay on with the fogs all the time. Now you take a switch on the relay to turn the KCs on and off. When that switch is on the KCs will be on with the fogs. Now that will make it so they can only come on when the fogs are on though.
