Is there anyway you can use the city light positive and ground wires and turn them into a fog light hook up? to make your city lights run in the foglight position?

So you want to be able to shut off the city light while using the other lights? and turn it on when you want thru the foglight switch?

I want the city light to be the foglight so to speak. I want the city light not to be a 194 bulb but the h3 or whatever the foglight bulb is.

Next is the blinker, what I did was I cut up a spare set of H3 projectors from a junked set of headlights and made a blinker assembly apart of it. Its going to be 3 projectors basically in the front, Im excited. 
It sticks out the back a little, but it wont interfere with anything and Ill be cutting 2 holes in the back of both headlight covers for the projector and blinker. The projector I am covering with a piece of PVC and the blinker will probably be something plastic+JB weld. 
its a snug fit

wait, so you want your fog light to be your turn signals? with the H3 bulb? any reason you need such good light output blinkers?

I want the fog light to be a city light. Is there any other bulb that would fit in there.
I cant just switch the wires up, Only one wire goes to the foglight connection. two go to the city light.
The set up i am doing is close to yours
I have my Lowbeam Projector goes to the lowbeam connection
High beam is also a projector and is connected with the high beam
Turn signal stays the same.
but for the city light i want it to be in the foglight slot.

Well Mine is a d2s bixenon projector. I have a lower h3 fog light and my turn signal has an H3 lens and housing but is a normal turn signal from behind.
BUT I have ecodes andI can fit the city light inside the h3 projector, it will just rest in it no problem. Nothing wrong with just putting it in there and take the h3 bulb out

Re: (VRtotheSix)
Im have put my city light in the fog housing before, just take out the h3 bulb, and stick in the city light bulb to the housing, it wil be a loose fit but it wont fall out and will light up the h3 projector. I did it with my old ecode retrofits. I could also put the city light inside the main xenon projector. There shouldnt be any issues

Is there anyway to take something that is two wires for a bulb and make it into a single wire power source?
Re: (VRtotheSix)
Hang on, that question doesnt make sense..if there are two wires one (brown) is usually a ground wire- unless the bulb grounds through the housing/ base (which most of them don't..the fogs do though).
IF you have a Euro switch w / fog, and the wire to the fogs added, to turn them on (hopefully fused and through a relay) you could simply cut the wire (+) to the city light and jump it to the fog wire. There's nothing really *wrong* with that. Leave the ground alone. Then in the FOG position your city and fogs will be on.
But if you have a proper Euro switched wired correctly the switch positions should be:
One click : City
Pull out : city + fog
Two clicks : low beams
Seems like a step backwards, just buy the euro switch and plug it in?
Are you wanting to run headlights WITHOUT city lights?
