Rear fog lights for US cars

I finally got off my butt and got the rear foglights working. Someone else figured it out and I just followed their guide. This involved replacing the switch with a new one, and running a wire to the FRM. Forgive the pics, iPhone


New switch with rear fog light buttons



These are as bright as the brake lights since they use the adaptive brake lights



Close up of them on



Tonight was especially foggy, and they worked great!

Can you elaborate on how this was done . What wires do you have to connect to get them working after you install the switch ?
