Either wire them to a separate switch, or throw in some kind of relay bypass.That's how mine are. Of course I didn't have fogs to begin with....

Before you do it, you need to see if that's legal in your state.

Still look for the white wire w/the black stripe. An splice into it! That wire should still be their. Regardless of plugs.
