    you will have to wire the turn-on lead to the parking light switch in the steering column. I think that might do it. What kind of fog lights are they?

    The switch is like the cruise control... its either always on or always off. The fog lights only "turn on" when the headlights are turned on.

    Not entirely true. Just splice the 'hot' into the parking lead. Quite simple. I gave a link on a 'how-to' on another thread in the forum (on a different car, but same principle). Try a search if you're interested.

    the hot wire is known as the positive wire. It is usually red, white or some similar color. The ground wire will usually have an earth tone to it or a stripe with an earth tone (i.e. black green brown etc.)
