Default 2 sets of stock fogs?

I was going to add another set of factory '02WRX fogs to me car, my question is can I splice into the first set of lights so they work off the same switch or would I have to wire them to a completely different switch?

It's not worth the time or energy to mount 2 sets of stock fogs. I would suggest you sell one set and buy a proper set of driving lamps (like some Hella FF1000s from www.rallylights.com).

I agree, but I'll be getting these stockers for $50.00, Thats a pretty substantial price difference. Would it still not be worth it?

Where would you put them? If you splice into the current wiring you are effectively doubling the current passing through the wiring and you will be very likely to melt something or blow fuses. You should really run its own wiring with a relay but you can still use the factory switch. I did. The OEM fogs really dont work well. For $50 or less you can get better foglights from Hella.

I was going to put them in front of the radiator...in the factory opening.
Maybe, your right...I'll try to find some Hella's.

Yeah, thanks....that'll probably be the path that I take. Any of you guys know how good the fitment is with the Hella WRX kit? does it look like stock or what? They're site doesn't have any pics.

It looks almost completely stock. Except for the little blue Hella logo in the middle of the lens.
