The main consensus here is that you use a relay to power your additional lights. You can use the stock wiring to trigger the relay, but power the relay directly from the battery. You'll get much better performance from your lights this way, than if you just powered them from the headlight/fog light circuit. Plus you also avoid pulling too much power from that single circuit by using the relay, so you don't have to worry about blown fuses or overheated switches.

I may not have been very clear I added airplane landing lights for extra driving lights the Switch is for them to run independantly of all other lights. Rather than being tied in with the fogs.

I like total control of my lights so I have them all on a switch independent of the low/high beams or fog lights.
