fog lights. rewiring?

so today i was looking, and i thought it would be easy to rewire my foglights to go on with the parking lights (the yellow side ones on the headlights). but i was wrong. i took the dash apart where the wires were ran. and i got confused quickly. i know the fogs can only be turned on when the headlights are on, how can i change this? any help or diagrams would be nice.
thanks much!

Find something under the dash that turns on when you turn your parking lights on, then use that as the trigger source for your relay.

Re: fog lights. rewiring?

how do i figure out what turns on? is there anyway to figure out which wire is going into the running lights? because i noticed theres two red wires going into one that goes into a small box with a fuse on it and another wires comes out of that box and into the back of the fog light switch,
