GT86 foglights installed but no switch?

i just picked up my gt 86(thats the base model in australia), and it wasn't suppose to have fog lights, but it does. thats cool but i cant turn them on. theres a switch to turn the rear fogs on, but no switch for the fronts.

any ideas?

they turn on once you put your car in gear, and drive..but as long as you haven't turned on any of the lights. i'm trying to work out a way to wire them to their own switch so i can turn them off and on.

They are Daylight running lights on the GT. They are only fog lights on the GTS.

Please tell us which light. The top is the DRL and the bottom is the fog light
