Fuse box engine and in cab fuse box

Looking for the fog light fuse. I'm trying to hook up and led and install in my hood scoop and have that operational via front fog light switch center colum. I've tried to search this and all I'm getting is that the fog light switch is in the engine bay fuse box F10 15amp, checked that, the diagram on my box has an engine with a lighting bolt going through it. Doubt that is for the fog lights i think those that are labeling that info have a 1st gen, mini.
is this even possible? If not which would be the best way to install this. I would really prefer if it were through the fog light switch just so it's a clean install. Thanks in advance

The wiring on this car is not as simple as you think.
The fog light switch in the center console sends a signal to the A/C and heat controller which then relays a command over the CAN bus to the FRM module. When the FRM receives this command it turns on the fog lights.
I think the best way to do this is simply wire it in parallel with the fog lights. LEDs draw so little current I don't think the FRM will notice or care.
