I'm planning on doing the same thing but not just yet, ( need more money, lol). I think as long as you make sure the factory switch and relay can handle the power your new lights are pulling you should be ok. Keep checking though I may be wrong.

Well... I know that, but an average aftermarket fog/driving lamp use a 55 watt bulb, Use that circuit to control a second solid state relay and you can run a 32a circuit and a Huge set of hella rally lights,lol!
Good luck!
