Default KC Slimlite installed to Fog Lights?

I had the stock fogs with the old stock bumper. Now I have a new pair of KC slimlite 100w... Can they be installed by splicing into the old fog light wiring so instead of using a switch I use my standard fog off/on which powered the old ones? If so any certain things I need to be careful about?

I believe the stock fog wires only support 55w max so if you plan on doing so it possible it could cause an issue

I dont know too much about electical but i think there is a way you can attach the relay to the fog wiring so it turns on when using the interior switch but the power is running off its own cables attached to the battery

Here a wiring diagram someone sent me if you can read it, bc i cant lol

Yeah won't work. An alternative would be an hid fog light that draw less power.

So I wired it the traditional way as instructed.... but where can I ground the wire from the on off switch. My switch will be going on the bottom center console below the hazard light and ESP switch. Thanks
