Civic 2003 fog light installation issue

Hi,

I recently bought motorsports fog lights (http://www.me2motorsports.com/index....iring-kit.html) and installed them today but I can't get them to work.

Under the hood, I connected the red wire directly to the battery, the ground wire to the frame, the two fog harness to the fog lights and I put the other wire through the firewall. Inside the car, I plugged the green connector to the fog lights switch, the yellow wire to the one I passed through the firewall but now i'm down to the last two wires and I'm not quite sure where I am supposed to connect them.

1. The (second) ground wire for the switch, where am I supposed the put it since I'm inside the car? Is there a specific place to ground wires close to the driver's side?

2. The power wire for the switch, in the video from motorsports, they say the connector is universal and may not fit all cars but it fits in one of the fuse box open spot. Is this where it's suppose to be?

I tried plugging the power wire for the switch where I'm showing you in the picture and grounding the other wire to the frame with an extension to see if it was working but it's not.

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
(To know what wire colors and stuff I'm talking about, they explain everything in this video : [autostream]http://autostream.com/ibcivicforums/?page_type=firebirdplayerthumbnail&framepage=1381& transactionid=1362189762-18416265253&posted_by=_www.civicforums.com&youtube _video_id=Vts1I4Jj5jI[/autostream])

1.) Anywhere that is metal. Under carpet, under steering wheel column.
2.) do you have a multimeter. If its just power for the switch then find a 12 V source.

Here are OEM install instructions:
