Default Utilizing OEM Fog Light Wiring

Is it possible to remove the OEM Fog Lights and use that wiring to light Red LED 12V Marker Lights in my front bumber? I am trying to light up the cut-out on my Poison Spyder bumber...if so, do I just cut off the adapter and attach the two wires? Similar to this attached pic...not sure how this was done with the wiring.

You could use a T tap like the following picture, so you can keep the adapter and not cut it off in case you ever want to use your fogs ever again.

I'm assuming he could tap in because the LED doesn't draw much current??

I got rid of my fog lights when I got my new bumper and I used the wires to run 4 LED lights that shine on the ground for wheeling. It works awesome even the green fog light indicator still lights up on the dash when they are on.

As long as it is a low current light, it will work fine. Wire it however you want, there are several options
