Yea if you could thatd be great. I tried reading some of the first few pages and i got kinda confused. BTW im trying to make them turn on with the switch not as DRL. So basically i want to be able to turn them on with the switch even if my HIDS arent on.

FOG Lights Rewire
This has already been covered earlier, I am not trying to take all the credit for this. I'm just trying to make it simple in only few steps with pictures.
This set up will let you use the fogs independently through the fog switch. You could have the fogs by their self, with the parking and side lights or with the headlights. You control them by the switch. Also you could leave the switch ON and turn off the car, fogs will have no power.
So, here it goes... Five steps....
1. Disconnect the negative terminal off of your battery.
2. Remove the fuse box cover, turn it around and locate the FOG Relay and ACC Relay.
3. There are 4 tabs on top of the fuse panel, undo the 4 tabs shown on the picture to get access underneath the fuse panel.
4. Cut the brown wire coming out of the FOG's Relay enough to rich the thicker White with Red stripe wire.
5. Locate the Thicker White with Red stripe wire from the ACC Relay and connect the brown wire coming from the FOG Reray with a wiretap. Make sure to cap the other end of the brown wire as we don't need it any more.
I tried to make it as simple as I could to understand, but once you open the fuse box you will understand everything.

Sorry do I also need to cap off the other end of the red/white wire ? And also I noticed if Iturn off my car but leave my hids and fogs on, they stay on even if my car is off. If I do this and leave all lights on and. Shut off my car, will only the hids stay on ?

I just did it !!!! Its so easy LOL. I dont know why i was stressing so mcuh. Ye i rested it on the cover of the air filter. But one thing i noticed is i cant turn them on when the cars off liek i used to be able too 
Oh well !!!
I fucked up at first cause the brown wire wasnt fully in the tap and i went ahead and use pliers. Then i had to retake the tap off then add a new one in .
Thanks for the help guys
