As rear fog lights are only there to help a following vehicle identify you then in theory not need, and front fog are only useful in fog or falling snow at night time when head lights are switch of to stop the back glare which they will give, front fog lamps don't have so much glare if any as they have a flat top beam and positioned low down.
So why do u want the both on together? but then if u do it's only a relay required and switch via the rear fog lamps supply controlling the 12v fused supply to the front fog lamps. Simples.

in the uk they must be wired into the head lights as these must be on when fog lights are used and must go off when headlights are switched off, you will get a fine and possibility of points, if you use them without your headlights.

Unless you live in Birmingham where it seems you can drive around at night with front fogs on and just your side lights.Or just front fogs. Or even have your rear fog light on for no apparent reason - even in the daylight .
Infact there also seems to be an alarming number of people driving here with no lights on at all during the night. Saw 5 last week. 3 on the same night on my 18 minute drive to work.
Also,there seems to be a new " trend" of only having one headlight working, and compensating this by having that light on high beam. Cool !!

If your going to make a statement then make sure its correct.
So... not only head lights but also side lights and only then when the ignition switch is turned on to position 2, both front and rear fog lamps can be and are independently switched.

well I was nearly there I was in the right ball park was I not, but surely if you put your head lights on then side lights are already on, and if you are driving the ignition must be on.
