you need to find out which wire is running from the fogs to the remote headlight wire (remote meaning that your headlight switch is making the wire hot) Disconnect this wire and install a switch hooked up to the fuse panel to a wire that is always hot. Good luck with the install. Once you find the wire its a peice of cake!

YES!!!!
You dont need a switch unless you want to control them separately. Mine are on as long as the parking lights are on, so I can basically never turn them off with the headlights. If I want to turn them off, i can wire in a switch to have separate control of them.
Here is a short write-up....
Buy a relay from autozone, get some wire if you dont have any, you will need to get to one of the parking light connectors, preferably by the drivers side near the battery, and the drivers side fog light connector. You will need new wire because you are basically splicing into current wires on the fog and parking lights. I just used those little t taps.....
Run one wire with an in-line fuse from the positive battery post to post 30 on the relay.
Run another wire from any ground to post 85 on the relay.
Run a third wire from the positive wire on the parking light connector to post 86 on the relay. Be careful here, there is one black wire and two red wires. One is for the parking light and one is for the turn signal. The one for the parking light is the one on the end of the connector.
Run the fourth wire from the positive side of the fog light connector to post 87 of the relay. The positive on the fog light is the blue/yellow one.
If you want a switch, it would be run from the parking light wire hooked to post 86 to basically interrupt the flow of current through there.
Hope that helps you.....
Here are some pics to persuade you as well....
