You should be able to just wire the foglight positive into the positive for the DRL's, and ground it and it will work, however they will only be on when your headlights are off (if you are talking about those DRL's in the headlight) or only be on when you turn on your taillights/ low or high beams (I assume that is what you want?)

Okay thank you very much for the very quick responses sorry i wasn't to specific my goal is to make it where the fog lights turn on when my other lights on auto turn on so tapping into the side markers would probably be easiest right? Or do you guys have any suggestions to make it easier? Thanks again

Yeah I would do sidemarkers or something. Just be sure your fogs down draw to much power or your fuse will go but other then that it should be fine. I am sure there is a better way to do it, but I would just tap the side markers myself

Okay thank you very much! Quick question when you did yours did you take the whole bumper off or did you just go behind the wheel well or under the bumper? Thanks

behind the wheel well to get access to sidemarker wiring.

Same here. I hooked mine up to my side markers so they're on when I turn my headlights on.

I'm using LED though just for looks so less power draw, went through the side wheel wells.
