On my 73 Square I did it a bit more simple. I gave the fog light switch power from the "X" contact on the ignition switch. As long as I have the fog switch ON I wont forget to turn on the lights when I go for a drive. I did of course use a relay as well, so I wont burn the X circuit in the ign switch (even though the switch is $10 at the FLAPS). And if you wonder why I dont want to forget turning on the lights, it's because it's mandatory to have lights on 24h. If you're caught without you can get a ~$75 fine.
Having the cigarette lighter wired to constant power makes a lot of sense to me, especially in this day and age of handheld communication devices. It is nice to leave i.e. the cell phone charging in the car, without having to have the ignition on.

Makes sense to me. I go a step further and wiring my radio to have constant power instead of traditional ignition-only. I don't want to have to have keys in the car to listen to the radio/cassette/CD/whatevernewiscoming.
