if you had fogs from the factory you can go into the switch and splice two wires togeather so that they are on with the high and lows like i did and also in the switch i cut away some of the plastic so that you can have them with auto lights and also the parking lights

I'm gonna try to explain below each picture the steps....It is not very hard you just have to be careful not to break the small plastic pieces.
You will need a small flat head screw driver (pocket screw driver will do) and a soildering iron.
Remove the switch assembly...and unplug the 2 harnesses.
Picture #1
Turn the headlamp switch to turn on the head lights and the fog lights. insert the small screw driver in to the hole and push in on the tab, at the same time pull out on the turn ****.
Picture #2
Insert a small flat head screw driver and CAREFULLY pry each plastic tab loose to remove the face plate from the switch housing. The red arrows are pointing to the tabs (there are more around the edges)
Your switch should look like picture #3
Picture #4
If you want the fog lamps on with the park lights trim the area where arrow #1 is....If you want the fog lamps on with the auto lamps trim away the area where arrow #2 is...(I found this out today) If you want the fog lamps only trim the area between the two arrows. If you want all options just trim the whole area from arrow to arrow.
After you are satisified with the trim job...reinstall the face plate and use a soilder gun to melt the tabs back down. reinstall the **** and try it out!
