Your guna have to wire sumthing up, u can rewire the switch or, u can run your own, battery to the lights and lights to a switch u put in the car.

Its actually very easy

if u wana do it the 2nd way
go to autzone buy a 2dollar switch, stick it under the stearing wheel or fab sumthing nice up on the dash, run a wire from the switch to the battery, and wires from the switch to the lights, and thats it. Might wana throw a fuse on there 2, itll take like 25minutes to do

If you are going to wire up a switch - do it properly and use a relay!

You can do it so that they come on whenever the parking lights are lit up by splicing one of the power wires to the parking ligths into a relay, and then run the power to the fog lamps.

I ran a 12v feed from the window fuse to the console fog light switch, in place of the feed from the headlight switch.
