How to wire a fog light switch to Diode Dynamics fog light kit *SOLVED

Hoping someone can help me out here...I asked @Diode Dynamics but they couldn't really help...

I bought their FR-S Fog Light kit and installed them as per their instructions/YouTube video....This consisted of hooking up the power wire to the battery, ground wire to car body (obviously) and then hooking up the two signal wires to your parking lights (power & ground = 2 wires).

Now, I don't like having them come on every time my headlights are on. I want them to be true fog lights in the sense that I only turn them on when I really need them. For this reason - I bought the FR-S Monogram foglight switch from @fteightysix so that I could turn them on and off with the switch.
This switch has a red wire (power), a black wire (ground) and a yellow wire (relay?)...

My question is - where do I hook this yellow wire up to in the fog light kit? I saw on the Winjet tutorial that they hook this up to the single "trigger wire" in their foglight kit but the Diode Dynamics kit comes with two trigger/signal wires...Do I hook up the fog's red signal wire to the switches signal wire and then leave the fog's black signal wire grounded to parking lights? or car body? or does the switch's yellow signal wire go somewhere different completely?

Any help on how to wire this up is appreciated...I've never used a switch before so it's a little new to me and none of the vendors I've asked have had a direct answer

Let me know if you need pics
