The power source for the fog light relay is from the headlight relay. You'll have to make a new switch and a new power source for that relay.

Look at the wiring diagram.

Just by pass it and use a power from the corner lights. All it takes is snipping 2 wires and splicing it.

I am also looking into doing the same thing. If I divert power from the corner lights, do I still need the fog light relay?

Power the Red/Black wire on the fog light switch with +12V.

I don't recommend wiring to the B+ wire -- after retrofitting them onto my 88/S4 I forgot to turn them off. Solo push starts aren't fun.

I spliced into the cigarette lighter. That way you can have your fog lights on any time you want. Also when the ignition is off so are the fog lights.
