Wiring fogs to go on with parking lights

[Uafan]

Alright, so I have my fog lights wired up really quick to a switch to the left of my steering wheel. Did it really fast so I didn't have to drill into anything as more of a temporary solution to the problem. (See below picture)

I want to wire them to my parking lights so they just go on whenever my parking lights go on. They're hardwired to my battery so all I have at the moment is a positive and negative wire. However, I don't know if by doing this, my foglights will blink when I use a turn signal. Has anyone done this in the past? How hard is it to do? Are there any wires to look out for? I'm not the best when it comes to electrical, but I have an idea of what I'm doing.

Thank you!

What you want to do is use a relay. The switch gets wired to the relay. Part of the relay goes to the main power source. (battery) And the other part gets wired to the switched power, or item that controls when it goes on. (the parking lights)

Look at the wiring diagram in this thread and it will show you how to wire your fogs so they will come on with the parking lights. There are two hot wires going into the parking lights. One for the blinker and the other for the lights. You may need a test light to determin which is which. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203037

I wired my fogs to turn on with the parking lamp. If wired correctly, they will not blink because there are three wires connected to the parking lights (one for blinking, one for constant light, and one ground) Check this post for information:
