If you have a voltmeter you could check to see which of those wires puts out a 12V reading when you turn on your head lights.

If you tie in on an ignition on signal (12v) instead of the low beams you will be able to light the fogs without the low beams. Fogs work better when the main head lights are off, less glare.

its not necessary to be a certain ignition wire, just a wire that is on when the ignition is on. just start testing wires near the fuse box, and see which are on during ignition on..

you could use a test light or a voltmeter to see which wires are on with ignition on..

oh, and standard disclaimer applies.. i'm not responsible for any damages..
