Can you wire the fog-lights to come on with just the foglight switch?

I want to just run only the foglights.

I am pretty sure you can only rewire them to come on with the corner lights and no headlights.
Anyway, here's one link:

I need to get around to doing this myself.

It's easy! You just have to run a splice your park light wire and your fog light wire together....I did it for Jackelope while we were @ the SE Mazda Meet in less than 10 minutes.

can you still turn the fogs off with the switch or are they always on when you turn the parking lights on?

another way of doing it if your afraid to splice is open up your fuse box under the hood and run a wire from your fog lights to your parking lights fuse just wrap the wire around one side of the fuse and plug it back in thats how i did mine no splicing or cutting same concept as hooking up a remote wire for an amp
