I love the look of fog lamps in the valance on Silverados with quad beam headlights. I had my fogs behind the grille in highschool. I completely ignored the fact that my lights wouldnt illuminate jack squat so I took them off so long ago that I misplaced them. For now, I am planning ahead and want to wire a switch inside the truck to put the fog light control at arms reach. For years I had them connected by a rocker switch screwed into the plastic panel next to my fuse box. Since I took off my lamps, I took off the switch cause we were having issues with an electrical drain (another story). My horn button is there for now, until I get a new steering wheel with a functioning horn button. Well I would like to hook up the lights via "add-a-circuit" to the parking light fuse. What size fuse should I install here along with the 15 from the parking lights? The way I have this diagram wired, would the "add a circuit" power the relay?
I drew this diagram to lay it all out and see if I can make my own fog relay harness.
The inline fuse would be a 20Amp to power the relay from the battery. The stock connectors are weatherproof and keep the truck feeling stock.

i still have my doubts on it as im no electrician. lol
I was planning on cutting out a small spot on my instrument bezel where the OEM switch would go and place the center of a spare rocker switch on the dash.

My current instrument bezel is cracked and has a broken corner, so i wouldnt mind installing that switch horizontally as a temp. I have plans on purchasing a new instrument bezel some time in the way future, maybe then I'll switch to the OEM style switch but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
