I don't have and diagram, but you can wire a relay switch or use relay harness. The Relay will have 4 or 5 connections - Ground, +12V (battery), switch and output (your PIAA fog lights). You can use a wire splice connector to connect the switch connection of the relay to ONE of the positive wires (best to use the one closest to the battery and connect near the bulb) which goes to the factory fog lights. The relay harness will have it's own fuse and be powered from the battery/alternator so there won't be extra load on the fog light circuit. You may need to change the fuse on the harness that's appropriate for your new fog light. You can use an HID relay harness and just cut off all the connectors that plugs into the bulb harness. $15 at DDMTuning.com.

I'm going to assume you're referring to the stock fog light switch on the light stalk on your steering column.

I don't have a step by step instruction here is how you can do it:

1. Use a voltmeter to find out what wire on the stock fog light harness is power
2. Clip off the stock fog light connector (keep track which wire is positive)
3. Clip off the white connector on the piaa lights (wire going to the bulb is positive, wire going to the housing is ground)
4. Splice corresponding wires together

I have slight OCD so this is what I did:

1. Use a voltmeter to find out what wire on the stock fog light harness is power
2. Clip off the white connector on the piaa lights (wire going to the bulb is positive, wire going to the housing is ground)
3. Spliced the piaa lamp wires to the female end of this: Halo Automotive WH9006 Plug and Play Upgrade Wire Harness and made sure the correct wires match the stock connector
