If I'm not mistaken that would be tapped into an interior 12v power source.

switch from Nigel JDM Parts, but i wired it to a harness from Diode Dynamics (way better)

I ran red to battery, black ground, white to my red trigger wire, and then ground my black trigger wire. Also red harness wire to battery and ground black harness wire. Now fogs work with car off or on (i wanted that)

yeah I see what your issue was since the diode kit is originally designed to tap into the headlight or parking light harness.

If you figure it out keep us posted. I'm interested in the fog light switch to switch my LED DRL strips on/off.
