Pin #8 on the main headlamp switch is not autolamp output , that is the power feed to the main headlamp switch from BJB fuse #3 ( 30 A ).
Pin# 7 is the output of the main headlamp switch to the autolamp module.
- turn **** to left, Pin #8 is connected to pin # 7 and the autolamp module is now enabled.
Did you file down the ramp in the switch for both the park and auto positions ?
Did you splice the brown ( parking lamp ) wire to the white w/black stripe wire ( and remove CJB Fuse #27 ) ?
If so, you should be able to pull the fog lamp switch out ( on position ) in the auto position.
OR
Are you looking for the fog lamps ONLY to be auto ?

So you don't really want them wired to the auto lamps, you want them wired to a hot in run position fuse.
Change the splice from the brown wire to an add a fuse that is hot in run position only, like cab fuse panel, fuse #6, 5 A or fuse #24 10A. These should be hot in run only fuses, verify with a meter.
This makes it so the power is not from the parking lamps.
Next you have to see if you can file down the ramp in the off position on the main headlamp switch, just like you did for the park and auto positions.
I do not know if this will work, you might trash the switch.
If you can file down the fog lamp switch for the off position, and change the power, this will allow you to pull the fog lamps out in any position, and only have the fog lamps illuminated when the fuse you choose from above is hot ( which should be run position if I tracked it correctly ).

That URL from Amazon are the same ones that I bought
The added circuit ( 1A fuse would do the trick ) would go to the White w/ Black stripe wire ( shows as pin #2, on the connector, watch the connector back there - 2 of them ).
If you spliced the yellow wire, the switch is out of the picture ( would be on regardless of the fog lamp switch position ).

This in addition to modifying the ramp, so the fogs can be pulled out when in the off position ( I don't know if this will damage the switch ).
That is all there is to it. What part is not clear ?
