Installing Hella 500s

Hey guys.
I am going to be installing 2 Hella 500s over the weekend, and I want to wire them so that they turn on when I turn my rear fog lights on.
I pretty much need to know where the wiring is going, and where to hook up the new wires.

Going to the Dragon on the 28th! Can't wait and I hope i will get the lights up by then.
Thanks for your help.

If you have an OEM rear fog unit wired to the center toggle bank, I will forwarn ya, the BCM can be a bit touchy when using power from it for this application.

IMO, I would use a proper relay and wire harness and it's own dedicated switch.
