fog lights to come on with parking lights

ok i did the mod, i connected the red wire with silver traces to the red/blue wire, but for some reason they come on whenever i want ( they are on constant power) i tested the red wire with silver traces and it was constant ,
did i connect the wrong wires, the bundel that it was in had those 2 wires a red/green wire and a bunch of green wires (7-10 i would guess)

did anyone else have this problem?

Yeah I know its weird. Some people wired it up and thats the way it came out. Mine only come on if the parking lights are on. Test the wire you tapped with a test light and see if it gets power with the parking lights off. You want to tap into the parking light wire so it should only have power with the lights on. Maybe there are 2 wires that look similar. I did it so long ago I don't remember.

I think the way you wire the fog will have problem, try turn on the fog and headlight with the key off, I think you will have power to the ignition, not sure but I think it happen to me when I did it that way, and now I have the fog relay tap in to the parking light.
