How much amperage flow can the stock headlight harness and switch take???

I have aftermarkte fog lights and was thinking of wiring them in with the low-beam headlights. How well would this work? I was thinking I could also do a manual switch just in case I didn't want the headlights on also...
Basically can the stock headlight harness take the extra flow of a couple small fog lights?
Thanks
Brady

not exactly sure how much it can take. i added aftermarket headlights so i can see where i am going. the total wattage of the 4 lights was 460watts. the factory wiring could not handle that

id run new wires right from your dash. or use the low beam wire to trigger a relay that turns on your fog lights
