you can make your own setup with a relay or you can buy a fog light wiring harness at the auto parts store make sure it is one that comes with relay and easy instructions are provided in those kits

hope this helps
A relay does not magically change the way electrical current works. 20 amps is 20 amps. A relay, like the one shown below, simply directs current and allows you to switch things on and off without running all that current through the switch. A 20 amp toggle is *expensive* and *dangerous*. A relay does NOT change the fact that you're trying to draw 20 amps of current through 16-18 gauge wires (which max out at about 7 amps).

Learn yourself.
