My Rubicon came with a set of KC lamps that aren't wired up. Wires are just hanging off the back (lazy ass previous owner-typical all show and no-go). Anyway, If I splice into my stock TJ fog lamps leads, and feed these KC's into the stock leads, is it going to cause any unforeseen issues? See picture if this doesnt make sense LOL.

Im not sure what wattage the KC's are, they look to be 100w Daylighter's Thoughts?

Yeah uh. No. Those lights draw a good bit, probably to much for the fog lights and the kc's.
I'd just go buy a $15 aux lighting wiring kit. If you want them wired with the fogs, just tap into the fog wires for the switched wire to the kc's relay. That way you wouldn't have to run anything inside the cab.

Way too much draw for those wires.. I would be surprised if the fuse didn't blow when you tried to run them.. Separate with a relay and harness.. Best bet!
