you dont have the oe fogs? iirc i just made mine work with em,, but its been a long time. maybe you can run a fuse block and run 12v from there, and for ground i usually just use chassis/fender depending

Lol found out the bulbs I got won't fit.
 






























Polarity is critical with LED lights. Did you try reversing polarity to see if that would work?
 






I could be wrong but seems like the original fog light circuit goes to a relay box, maybe under the battery tray along with the blower and washer relays. It would make sense to just tap into that box since that's where it would normally come from, I mean put the relay in the box, and if the box harness doesn't have the control wire present, run a control wire from relay pin 2, up to the dash bezel switch. I mean get a junkyard bezel with the fog light switch if yours doesn't have one, then wire to fog light switch, to chassis ground. See attachments.

I saw the post where the bulbs wouldn't work, but you could just get entire housings...
