Default Which is the parking light wire?

I want to wire some foglights to my truck that come on with my parking lights, does anybody know which is the wire to the parking lights (not the turn signal wire because i dont want them blinking when i turn) im sure there has to be one for parking lights and another for turn signals.
thanks

Are you wiring them straight to the parking lights? If so just splice at the light itself, instead of in the cab at the switch. I understand if you want a switch for the lights and using the headlight switch for power. I wired these just at the light itself, simple and concealed. I used the brown wire, because both parking lights had, a black, brown, and a striped wire going to them. Brown proved to be the parking light wire. Hope that helps.

Hopefully you ran the fog lights off a relay. Otherwise you could have a fire starter on your hands.
