Very sensible idea to have more brake lights, will the wiring be ok in size to take it of at that point, still trying to work out how to turn my spot lights on, I was sure that they operated from the switch that operates the rear fog lights,, obviously I'm wrong on that

Fog lights would be activated as far as I know only after head lights are turned on .

That is possible if someone has modified the wiring, the PO of my car had done this, I now have restored the OEM functionality and added an extra switch into the blank left by the removal of the transmission mode switch...

If you intend to install front fog lights than you can use the designated fog lights switch but the OEM switch wiring uses the negative polarity for switching .
You will have to use an auxiliary relay to control the front fog lights .
The aux relay coil terminals should be connected as follows :
One terminal of coil goes to +12 battery trough an 1Amp inline fuse.
The other coil terminal goes to the fog light switch joined together with rear fog lights wiring .
Than comes the switching of front fog lights as follows :
One wire from each light to ground or battery -12V
The other wire from each light to aux relay switch terminal and from other switch terminal to a inline fuse (rated according to fog lights load ) than to +12 volt/battery.
Fog lights switch would work only when head lights are turned on irelevant of high or low beam selection .
Hope it makes sens ..cheers

No worries, I have downloaded the manual. The spot lights are installed and are part of the original Sport package and were working on the switch that operated what I now know are the rear fog lights.
Anyway I'll sort it out
Thanks to everyone for their input
