Question Warn Remote Fog Lights, Quick question

I am going to be installing my JKs Christmas present today and have a question about it. The remote/wireless interface requires you wire a tracer wire to the positive power wire going to the headlights. This is to permit having the fog lights on only when the headlights are on. However, I like the idea of being able to remotely turn them on while I am out of the vehicle and don't have the lights on. Anyone have any ideas?
In the mean time I may just run the tracer wire to my marker lights for now.

Install went well. I ended up using the led going to the marker light on the driver side. So for now I have to have the parking lights on to use the fogs. I dont mind at this point. We will see in the future if I change my mind. Oh, BTW I tested the remote. The farthest I tested was about 30 feet. Plenty far for me. I will update post after I have to test max distance.
I am glad I ended up going with the remote switch fogs from Warn. Great kit and the quality you would expect from them as well.

You could also wire the lead directly to the battery so they'd work without any lights on. Only draw back to that is they could be left on and drain the battery.

I think the instructions say wire to the battery on jeep vehicles
