To All:
I have finally figured out how to wire the Fog Lights, so you can turn them on when ever you want. You can even turn them on all by themselves. This is what you need to do: I will attatch 3 jpg.'s
1) Fuse panel location (next to battery)
2) Fog relay wire diagram
3) How to splice
First thing to do is to remove battery cable. Open the lid to the fuse box(Fuse panel next to battery). Remove the 3 nuts that hold the fuse tray to the car frame. Don't forget there is a nut under the red lid. Pull up and out the fuse tray. You will need to lift up the wire harness out of the tray, so you have room to lift up and flip over the fuse panel. You need to work on the back side of the fuse panel.
Locate the "Fog Relay" (bottom center)
You will see 4-wires, pins 1,2,3,5,
The task here, is to CUT the "red/black-stripe" wire (see drawing). Take the cut end of the red wire the connects to the relay itself, and splice it into the Green/red-stripe wire on pin 3 (or any way you can splice it into green/red-stripe wire). You no longer need a connection from the other end of the red wire you cut. That used to go to the "headlight" relay. Hence the reason you needed to have your headlights on in the first place.
What I did was to scrape a small portion of the sheathing away on the green/red-stripe wire so i could wrap the red/black-stripe
around it. I "soldered" this, but I suppose you could just tape it up. I also put a small piece of tape around the end of the no longer needed cut end of the red/blk-stripe wire so it would not touch anything. The final goal here is "bridging" Pins 1 & 3 together.
That would do it! Put everything back, and enjoy!

I noticed today that my fog lights did not work. I spend an hour researching the problem. It turned out to be something I didn't mention in this original thread. Under normal conditions, when you push your headlight switch forward to high beam, it cuts the power off to the fog circuit. Well, for some reason, when I last drove my car, I had the high beam switch on. So when I reached in the drivers window to turn the fog lights on, they didn't work.
All I needed to do was flip the switch back to *low* and they went on! So this mod will not allow the fogs to be on when you are in High Beams.
Here is a file with all the Info:
