As this DIY's gone along pretty well and I've learned some of the new ideas from other members. I'd like to summarize some of the easily simple options that you all can do to the JDM fog lights. It depends on each personal preferences then you can make them work on either way of their functionality the way you want them to. And each of its own result turn out to be so great OEM looking. So far at least there are 4 options which I can think of:

1. With a relay as original state from this DIY.
2. Without a relay plus an additional seperate toggle on/off switch.
3. By using an existing OEM high beam toggle switch.
4. Or by splicing these JDM fogs to the OEM fogs or Hella fogs existing wiring harness.

I think the most preferable option would be option # 2.

And be careful with option # 4, just make sure that your existing fog lights wiring harness is capable of handling more current flow b/c in this case you are indeed to double the wattages and the currents flow at the same time through the existing fog lights wiring harness. Since the OEM or the Hella fog lights wiring harness design just enough to handle 1 set of the fog lights only. If you'd like to do so, you might consider to upgrade the wiring harness to a larger gauge and a higher fuse rating as well as the fuse holder or else you will experience in melting your fog light wiring harness or keep blowing fuses or even worst. Honestly, I do not recommend this option very much b/c of your own safety concern seriously.

Any other better ideas and comments are welcome to add to this thread as it's going along.

Cheers,
