Well i want to make my foglight switch a fuel killswitch would it handle the amps? Im guessing no more than 10amp draw? Also id like to see if the defogger switch on the hvac controls is able to handle the amp aswell for an ignition kill switch. . Anyone done these and are they good switches to do the kill switch on, maybe u guys can shoot me some pointers or ideas of stuff you have done
I have a 99 camaro ss by the way

the defogger seams unlikely as it only even functions when the car is ON, which would really defeat the purpose, also its a weird switch, that has some thermal overload thing for a fuse and it's just best not to mess with that, as for the fog light switch I seam to recall it having like 5 or more wires running in it so good luck sorting that out.
I would do relays and hidden switches somewhere if I where to do this.

You can do the fog. I did a starter kill there. You can wire it so you would need both the headlight switch on and the fog light.... Double protection.
Easy wiring schematic work to know the wires.

On one of my older cars I mounted a generic SPDT/CO
switch way up under the dash where I could reach it
from the driver's position, but would never be seen.
Center-off position kills fuel pump feed, left routes it
to the horn instead, right energizes fuel pump. So a
kill and/or alarm setup.
I'd put the switch in the fuel pump relay coil feed,
which is low current.
