Welcome to the forums man, get aquainted with the search feature near the top of the page. Use the right keywords and it will give you the answers to almost anything to do with our cars 
A quick answer that doesn't tell you how to do it basically guys re-wire things so the fog lights come on without the headlights, not tough. I'm sure there's a diy
p.s. LOL at Josh's post, always the witty douchebag comments now that you've moved on. Love it.

Yes, you would have to splice into the driveing lights, and wire the fogs into the parking lights. I had HID's running to fogs on my Cl and thats how we wired it. We also ran a relay as well. Good luck

op read this thread..

that way is best..
iirc, it still turns off when you high beam
loved foglight mod so much, that i did it on my genesis.. lol! except they NEVER turn off, even with the high beam on

Same, that's how I wired my fogs too, they're wired straight to a switch so they turn on and off whenever when the car is in the ON position, no need for parking lights, and it doesn't turn off with the high beams on.

even better! it has words!
do you need help reading too?

I did Elegant's car today and here are some pictures that I took for the install. 
This is what a diode looks like and how it works, current only flows from Anode to Cathode, the silver bar shows you which is the cathode side.
That is my diode connected to some wire to the left and to the right (Anode and Cathode sides) with some shrink wrap over it. Electrical tape will be fine as well. I had soldered it but you can just twist it together.
Here it is connected to the MINI add-a-circut crimped to the Anode side of the wire to the blue thing. I used a 3 AMP fuse, probably more than needed but it is fine. Notice where it is added, the instructions of the add-a-circuit will explain.
This is the fog light switch harness and swtich. I had to undo the original fog light mod and taped up the two wires.
Just another shot
Driver side Fuse panel before I remove anything.
Drive side Fuse panel after I remove the fuse #9 instrumental panel slot. The one below it is the ACC one. Both are 7.5 Amps.
With the removed fuse I just place it into the other slot of the add-a-circuit. Again the instructions of the add-a-circuit will explain.
The add-a-circuit installed into the fuse box. I just plugged it back into the fuse #9 slot. Just that easy.
Close up!
The other side now of the diode, Cathode side, now you just use a tap to tap into white/red wire which was used originally for the first fog light mod. So you crimp the black wire extended from the cathode side of the diode to the white/red wire.
Close up of how it is crimped together.
Now you are done!!!!!!!!!!!!!
