Hey everyone,
I feel a bit ashamed knowing I’ll be asking a relatively stupid question to most here. In the future I will like to wire some fog lights to my car, which should be easy, but at the moment I just don’t want to mess anything up and would like to introduce myself into electronics. Where could I begin? More specifically, what kind of projects would be similar to the process of wiring some fog lights?
I just bought the soldering iron, but have no idea of where to buy the material for the projects, or where to go from there.

Thanks for the information you two!!!!!
I didn't mentioned there are a couple of threads in the forum for my car and a fog light kit which makes this a breeze, but I wanted to play around with electronics a bit more than that kit allows. |

The fog lights should have come with a wiring harness and a set of instructions. Typically the harness connects to the battery through an inline fuse and then to the fog lights with a switch in series on the battery wire. This typically works fine for low current lights.
Personally I prefer to use a relay but that's a bit more advanced.
Here's an example diagram:

That's about as simple as it gets with a relay.
If you are intending to run more electrical accessories on your vehicle in the future, I'd suggest installing a small auxiliary fuse panel. |

Fog lights for a car use only a single wire for each light.
Connect the fog light wires together then to a fuse so that there is no fire in an accident. |
