Run fog lights and normal lights together???

[planefreak]

So after searching for fog lights for my p5 and not finding anything I went with some cheap driving lights. The only thing is when I turn my brights on they go off. I'm just curious if mazda did this for a reason (because of the purpose of fog lights and not needing them if the brights are on or if it is because of the number of lights). I have the headlights with separate low and high beams.

So I did some math. The aux lights 55w each, hi beams 60w each, and low beams 55w each. So total I would be running 340 watts or just over 28 amps.

Is that safe? With stereo heater, ac, rear defroster... and others will that overload the alternator?

ya know that most state laws are that with high beams on ya cant have aux lights(aka fog lights) on

Isn't that kind of a strange law because your brights should be off when you see another vehicle?

I'll never understand some of the laws and how they got passed...

thanks for the tutorial. I was curious how to do it.
