Wiring 2nd set of lights
#2
Why? Do you want them to turn on when you turn on your park lamps?
Edit: I tried to get some wiring diagrams online but could not find the schematics for the park lamps.

I wired my fog lights like that on my 1st gen. The parking light circuit powers the relay for the fogs, a separate switch grounds the relay to turn it on. Power for the fog lights comes from a separate fuse I added off the battery.
Which wire to use? Easy way to find out, measure voltage on one of the wires when the lights are on, if it is 12V, use that one, otherwise, use the other one. That is how I did it on mine. Takes more time to explain it that to do the check, actually. Or, no volt meter? Pull out the bulb and if it is the kind with a metal base (ground) and center contact for power, find out which wire connects to the center contact in the socket and use that wire.
