Default quick fog light question

I wired up a set of fog lights....there is a fused wire from the battery to a switch, then from the switch to the lights then a ground on the switch....my question is... i am hooking up another set of fogs, should i run another wire to the battery or can I just tap into the power wire i already ran? just put another switch and ground on it and another wire to the lights??

the wire is 16 guage.

one set of fogs is cheapo walmart brand (i'm not sure how many amps they pull)

the new set is a set of factory fogs from a sahara.

thanks guys

I would suggest a fuse box. Use a 4 GA wire from the battery, bring it inside and to the box. Then you can use that power source for additional components.
I have a 6 circuit box. I have fogs, cb and inside leds on this so far, with three more circuits available. Not too much more expensive and easier than running more wires to the battery.

Please note I am not an electrician!
