Default Grill fogs AND bumper fog lights? Wiring?

There's only one connector behind the side-view-mirror panel for fogs...what if I wanted to install two sets of fogs?

I just finished installing these last night: http://www.amazon.com/JDM-OEM-Style-.../dp/B002XGWDGI

and my plan was to get some of these as well--

Just split the signal wire. It should be enough to trigger both relays... Oh and be sure to post pics when you're done.

Don't. I had that grill and it didn't fit right, pops out, the lights are in upside down(it said top on the bottom of the lens), The light pattern was weird, they wouldn't adjust properly so I blinded people, and they burned out after a month. needless to say I'm rocking the stock grill now.

oh, and the harness was crap so they flashed every once in a while.

Sir you don't seem to understand what an LED is. An LED cannot burn out unless you're giving it too much current.

no worries I bought from Ebay. That link I posted was just the first google images link that popped up.

As for why, yes I am going for "spaceship" look, basically.
However, it appears in my state you cannot have more than 2-4 headlights (brights + normal) and 2 fog lights installed. So I'd be violating state laws to do this. It is annoying to have someone behind you with their brights on...probably the motivation for this law.

I wanted them just to have something to fill up those holes in the bumper. Does anyone have any suggestions? Something to put in there, but that won't catch tons of bugs...
