Installing Additional Aux Lighting on 4th Gen

Greetings - I am looking to install an additional set of fog lamps on my 2003 Limited 4Runner. I currently have a Wagg front bumper guard which I'm planning on installing the lamps on. I would like to avoid drilling any holes in the firewall and I thought I would use a wireless remote light switch. If I decide to go wireless, what would be the best way to get power to the lights (12v). Thanks!

On my old Grand Cherokee, I used a PIAA wireless switch and pulled the power directly off the battery for the driving lights. The relay was tapped into the high beams so the lights were not operational unless the high beams were activated. (the neat part about this.. if the aux light switch were in the on position, and the headlights were off... I could use the "pass to flash" (pulling back on the turn signal stalk) it also flashed the aux driving lights too -- grabbing extra attention)

Conversely, you could do the opposite for fog lights and tap the relay off the low beam or parking light circuit.

The purpose of doing this was so I didn't accidentally leave on the aux lights and drain the battery.... with the auto shutoff feature, it would kill the stock lighting and also trip power to the relay, thus killing the aux lighting if they happened to be on as well.

The firewall has several holes already in it from the factory. There is no need to have a wireless switch.
 
I added some lightforce 170's and ran the wireing from the cab to the bay through the same hole as the hood release.
