hi

just wondering whats the usual fog light power rating ? 12amp? or 7.5 ? if its 7.5 i was thinking of running them off my parker instead. or any other alternative instead of me installing another set of harness etc.

not safe running it off your parkers.
make a new source and harness usnign a relay.

turn on the switch, and see if there is power coming out of the harness.
and also make sure the earth is connect as well.

well its got 2 wires, a black one which i assume is earth and another white one.
i think ill take it down to the local auto electrician for some help.

wat if i just plug a bulb in there and see if it lights up?

could do that, takes 2 seconds to test it dude, all you need is a test light.
turn on the foglights, and then see if there is power going through.
