each light has two wires one (+ and one -) ground each of the light to the body or run them together and ground them and the other wires put them together and run them to the switch

Fogs should not be run directly off of a switch. You will risk melting the wiring and the switch. You should run them off of a relay. Its should only be about $5 at the shack or auto parts store.
