Where or which is the fog lights positive wire

Hello,
I'm trying to hook up my PIAA driving light switch to the fog lights (if not possible, I can settle with highbeam as well) and not sure which wire to connect the switch to, if anyone can tell me where it's located or maybe a photo of where it's at, that would be great! Thanks!

You can access the high beam positive voltage at the left headlight connector; it's a yellow wire with a blue stripe. That's probably easier than removing the insulation off the wire bundle leading to the headlight. If you really want to use the fog lights to trigger the relay for your driving lights you can just splice into the positive wire at the fog light. I don't have factory installed oem fogs and the Bentley manual is a little confusing on the color code for the positive wire; but there are only two wires there and the negative wire is brown. You can get primary power for your driving lights at the large red wire at the back of the under hood fuse box. If you don't want to bother with an inside switch, you can just wire the lights so they come on anytime the high beams are on. Good luck.
