New LED lights, and "hot wired" my fog lights

Got these cool big@ss leds on ebay. they are SO bright, i figured i could use them almost as headlights! they certainly light up the road at any rate, and supplement my headlights. plus the look cool! (will post night pics soon).

and i managed to "hot wire" my fog lights to turn on with the regular lights (1st click = running lights). i got a set of H11 bulb sockets from ebay, and a relay and wired it all up. total cost, oh 10$? (again, will have to post night pics)

You'll need s relay too. The side marker lights current isnt strong enough to power the lights in the fogs, even if theyre leds. Might as well get several on eBay, haha. It's gonna take a while for that thing to show up :-|
