AMPS=watts/volts, so 110 watts (if you run 2x 55 watt bulbs) / 12volts = 9.16Amps.

Make sure that the switch is rated to at least 10A, as many interior switches for cars are only rated at 5A. If you run a 5A switch, you'll have a melted switch sooner or later. And if you're running 100 watt fogs (I've seen a lot of aftermarket bulbs at this rating), you'll be running at 16.67A, so you'll need at least a 20A capacity. Good luck there! Sure, ghetto rigging may get stuff to work temporarily, but there's no telling how long it'll last (or how lucky you'll be).
