If he wires them into the headlights, its more than likely he'll get pulled by the police.
Ive been pulled over for having my fogs on when it wasn't foggy.. |
highbeam/full beam is fine, no one drives with full beam on so they will only be on when needed

Put main beam on in fog and you seriously reduce visibility for yourself.
The beam pattern for fog lights is designed to cut through the fog and increase the visibility for the driver. They are not driving lights and offer very little usable light on unlit roads where main beam is needed.
Wire them up to dipped beam and risk a FP for driving with auxiliary lights illuminated when visibility isn't reduced.
Just get a switch, relay and fuse and wire them in that way. It's an easy enough job if you know what you're doing.

Pretty smart but they will reduce the life of the bulbs so I have been told. You shouldn't play with it too much
