Default LP530 Install Question

I am about to install some PIAA LP530's in place of my factory fogs. From all my calculations (new lamps are 12VDC, 8W, old are 12VDC, 55W), I should be fine using the factory switch and wiring.

Am I missing something here? I eventually want to add more lights which I will add a pod or something, but it seems since my draw is much less I should not be overloading my factory circuit without running extra wires thru the Jeep.

Also, I have been going through the owner's manual trying to see what fuse controls the fog light circuit and can't find it, does anyone know what fuse controls the fogs?

BTW it is a 2008 UNL Rubicon.

As usual, thanks for the help!

I have the PIAA LP530 installed on my '13 JKUR. I just wired then into the factory harness for the fogs. You will not pull more load than the factory lights with these as you stated the load above. I didn't even look for the fuse when I installed mine, just make sure the lights are switched off when you install them and you will be just fine.
