Autosocks
I have new 3 peak mountain snowflake AT tires on my four wheel drive F350, and am travelling to Utah the end of December. I carry a set of cable chains I've never used, and am considering picking up ...

An update. I travelled to and from Utah with both the socks and the chains stored. Some areas were slow with vehicles that had slid off the road, but our traction was good at the slower speeds. The slowest part was not due to traction, but with visibility. A white out in the dark limited us to 20 mph going up one pass. This was with low beams and fogs on, and the headlight glare off the falling snow was blinding. I sometimes wonder about the move away from sealed beams to the style over function we apparently get today. Maybe I'll put the headlights on a switch so I can travel with DRLs and fogs only when conditions dictate.
I wouldn’t get overly ambitious and try cutting into the lights circuit. Not like the old days. Just put some billybadass stand alone fog lights on it if you need more low visibility driving light. Will be orders of magnitude better and won’t mess up anything else.
I saw a slick light setup that slipped into a 2" receiver and used quick disconnect power for a winch along with a wireless remote.
