12v through a fuse to the relay & a low power line to the switch to activate the relay in the cab. Have the high power out of the relay to the lights.
There are a few blogs about aux lighting... look em up & see what works best for you.

<edit> my Piaa 520i's came pre-wired = relay, switch, fuse & wiring harness incl. Just plug n play & GREAT fog lights that project at least 500' I'd guess in a flat beam - AWSOME!
i gave him this
Fog Light Wiring with Bosch Relay

Finally gave the interior some love. Just spent the last hour giving it a mini-scrub. Holy crap what a difference! All of the letters on the stereo, cruise control, 4X4 etc are all white instead of a smoky brown, all of the adhesive is off of all windows now (cleaned it up a month ago but forgot the vent window behind the driver) and wiped out the cupholders, etc.

Now it's not disgusting to get in anymore, it's merely a bit dirty. Still need to shampoo the carpet, seats, give the rear side panels a good scrub, etc. But that will all come in a couple weeks when I (finally) drop it off at my cousin's house for a good detail.

Cleaned my interior. It went from spotless back to immaculate.

Still have a lot more to do. Need to take the dash speakers out to make sure I buy some with the same depth that will fit, and I need to get a tire rotation.
