Foglight Wiring

I already did a search and didn't find anything that really answered this, so...

I'm putting some '86 ground effects on my '84 Trans Am. Now I can have the foglights, but I know I don't have any kind of factory wiring built into my harness that would support these fogs. Now if I wanted to wire a set of aftermarket lamps into the same circuit that my parking lights were on, what do you think I'd have to do? I think that the stock wiring would fry if I just used the hot wire for power without anything else. I don't really want to have another switch on my dash, so that's why I want to do it this way. Any ideas?

Use a relay and run the power wire for the running lights to activate the solenoid and send power to the fog lights.
