Fog light help

Can I just run a wire from the side marker to the fog light and tap of off that to get the drl to stay on at night? Ive seen soom places and they tell you toput in a dioide I think or a resistor are these needed?

Yes you can do that, but you need to use a diode or in the day time your side markers will be on.

Or you can get one that has all the work done for you.

I did this and it didnt work for me/ I would have one light out on the passenger side every time it would switch back and forth between the DRL or the Halo/headlight. I double checked all the wires and everything
