One more question...
Since I want the new fogs on at the same time as the factory fogs, I would run hot from battery to relay, ground to relay, relay to fogs, and instead of adding a switch, I would run a splice from the factory fogs hot wire to the relay, correct?
Then when I pull out the factory fogs switch, the splice from factory wire tells the relay to start drawing power from the battery to run the new fogs?
I left fuses out, bcs I figured that would be a given.

Im thinking about ordering some back up LEDs but before I do just wanted to hear some opinions on if its worth it. Do they make much of a difference? Also how many SMD would be best. Found some on Amazon that are 54 SMD would that make a noticeable difference?

A bit more expensive, but the Output is clearly worth it as you can tell
