Default 2004 Mazda 6 Fog Lights

My '04 did no have fog lights, I bought some aftermarket ones but it seems the car does not have any wiring set up for it? can someone tell me if I can get the juice from the side markers so that when the city lights are on the fog lights can come on as well? or do I need to run new hardness from the fuse box and a new switch from the dash ?

Depends on the local traffic laws where you live.

Depends on what kind of fog lights and the power draw. LED would be a good alternative in your case that doesn't use much power, otherwise separate circuit please.

Drill a new hole! Rubber Grommet, silicone works.
Removing the battery may make things easier (it did for me on my 2006).

Have a look at the big multiplug for each of the headlights. Some models had foglamps inside the headlight assembly. There maybe wiring there to tap into.

fog light draws more power and also it is depend on your city light , my suggestion would be try for LED lights it consume less power and also its give different look than fog lights cheers!!
