Default Wiring light bar into fog lights?

I just bought a light bar and I was wondering if anyone had wired theirs into their fog lights. If so got any tips or tricks on the best way to do it. Thanks

+1 for using a relay. wiring it directly into the fog lamp circuit may draw to much current and blow fuses. use the fog lamp circuit to power the control side of the relay. the power side of the relay should be run either directly from a fused wire from the battery or an unused fused circuit in the uhbec that has the proper sized current rating for the light bar.
