Fogs on with parking lights

Is there a mod I can do to make the stock fogs on a 2010(the ones in the headlights) come on with just the parking lights? They only come on with the headlights.

Can I just cut the 2 wires from each...I assume 1 is power 1 is ground? Ground the 2 wires & tap the + wires into the parking light wires? I understand I'll loose the on/off switch but as long as the lights are on in any mode the fogs should be too & if they are off the fogs should be off as well.
Or will that screw something up? Never know these days with all the damn electronics in cars.

Yes this is how to do it. No need to cut any ground wires (they're both grounded to the same chassis, no?), just power.

You can, Rewire the fogs to the parking light relay in the fuse box in the passanger fender. I did this for my LED lights I installed in my lower grills.

no I actually wired them right to the battery for the positive and the relay in the box so they will only come on with the parking lights. I didn't take pics I can try to get some tomorrow I'm still at work and it'll be dark when I leave, But if you where to remove the cowl where the cabin filter is you'll see the main wire harness that leads the fuse box, its laterally in the fender
