I believe either you tap in the DRL or I think there is a button that you install to turn it on or off.

Super Clean... I love these Fogs.. !!

So I have a couple of questions??

The DRL switch just controls the DRL Led's in the Fogs.. correct??
Did you have to tap into any sources under the dash or did you just power up from battery and wire them to fogs and DRL switch?

Also, I am assuming the Fog lights themselves are wired up using the oem fog light wiring and turn on from the headlight stalk... right??
or is there additional wiring needed for the fog lights..

correct... the drl switch just controls the led drls. i had to tap into a source... i used the cigarette lighter as my source. had to take apart the center console area and splice into that wire. i chose that cuz it's "hot" when in the acc and on mode and "not hot" when the car is off. that way i don't need to always remember to turn off the drl's when i shut off the car.

the fog lights themselves are plug and pray... no additional wiring needed for those. the fogs still shut off when you use your high beams.

yeah the wiring is a piece of cake to figure out. it's figuring out the brackets and mounting the fogs in the bumper that is a pita especially w/o the instructions.
