I installed a bumper which does not have spots for my fog lights(no big deal). So what I have is my wiring for te stock fog lights sitting on my bumper doing nothing.
I was wondering if I can simply use that wiring from those fog lights and hook up off road lights to them. Anyone tried this yet?

The stock fog lights are 35watts. You could hook up off road lights but it wouldn't have a good enough power source to do it well. What you can do to make it work perfect is to use a relay. If you use the fog light wiring to power the control on the relay and then the battery would be wired to the relay as well to power the lights

That actually makes perfect sense to a guy who has been working on aircraft electronics for about 8 years now. I guess I was just hoping the answer was "yes, it'll work" haha.
Thanks though for the wattage info.

Keep in mind the fog light wiring is also Pwm. Controlled by the computer. So there is a little more than just adding a relay. I believe it needs a capacitor with the relay.

There are several led lights that are below 35 watts. The only problem I see would be that you lose the high beams when they are on, but you could wire around that if you can get your hands on a wiring diagram

^ That's what I was thinking. With all the LED lights now, you may not need to run it with a relay, although the lower draw may be less than desirable in some cases.
