Iin the future, consider getting a "pigtail fuse" or "add a fuse" and use the empty M9 slot in your fuse box. That way you can switch on your lights anytime the JK is running (high and low beam). Also, they will automatically shut off when you turn off the Jeep. Much cleaner and easier then tapping other wires.

Can you pig tail the pigtail for fog lights and windshield lights ( 2 separate switches ) ?

Those look great how did you tap the power for the switch to the cig lighter? If I pull it out what color would the wire be thats connected to the cig lighter should I tap the switches power to? Do I really need to buy a meter for this project? Thanks. Matt
