Do you want them to work with the regular head lights too?

You just need a diode and some wire.

Splice the brown and yellow wires behind the headlight switch and you're done, simple as that. They're on whenever your park lights are but you can't turn them off.

Browning...so I won't need to ever pull the fog switch out? Do I just cut the wire the splice together or run like a jumper wire to each other?

Just run a jumper or a scotch lock

If you want them to work with the park lights and/or headlights on both high and low beam, but only when you pull the switch out, you'll need to remove the switch and trim the plastic "ramp" on the back. Just mark where the post hits the plastic "ramp", then replicate the existing "ramp" by cutting/trimming so that the switch will pull out in the park light position (you'll see what I mean when you take it out, it's much easier than it sounds). Then run a jumper from the #5 wire to the #12 wire. The back of the harness is numbered where the wires enter.

If you want them on all the time when your lights are on, with no option to turn them off, then do as Browning has stated.
