I wouldn't use it as a power source, that's way to much draw. I would use the power source on the fogs to trip a relay. You're KC lights should have come with one. If they didn't, you can pick one up for pretty cheap at auto zone ($3)



Ok, the best way to do this is set up the wiring exactly like this, except when you run the wire from #85 on the relay, run it to the positive wire on your fog lights, and tap it into that line. That way when you turn on the fog lights, the KC lights will come on.

Good luck, let me know if you need any other help

That is the bulb type, not the size of the bulb.
