Those are city/parking lights...
Just drive around with the 1 click up from the off position. It just turns your sidemarkers and tailights on with it. No need to mess with wiring just for that...
Do that and the fog light mod, and you should be fine.

Well, I'm sure this isn't the correct way to do it, but it will work.
**Don't blame me if something goes wrong, this is just my idea**
Cut the power wire going into the city lights, and use the "ignition on" as your power. That way your city lights will get power everytime you put it on "on" position. *Kinda like the fog mod, but hardwire method* (i'm sure you can use some kind of relay like the fog mod, but idk about all that...)
So in Canada you have to have DRL???? Sucks for you guys :P

Well~ my first idea was to use a "constant power" and using a toggle switch. BUT... since that's basically same as clicking it up from off position, I thought this would be better.
LMK what your friend thinks, the only possible problem I thought of is that it might pull too much power from the "ignition" source/wire. Might be a good DIY for our friends in the Maple Land
