How to install LED running lights. Wiring Guru's please HELP!

I purchased some LED running lights (for looks) off eBay. I would like to install them to come on either when i turn my fogs on, headlights on or on their own switch, which would be in one of the empty switch panels to the left of the steering wheel.

I've called around and install about be anywhere from $90-$150. I'm a little tight on money right now and would love to get these put on myself if I could, just to save a little bit of money.

Can someone (with wiring expertise) please help me with how to wire these things either to the vehicle so when I turn my OEM fogs on they also come on or how to get power to them and wire them to thier own switch? I'm pretty handy but know NOTHING about wiring with the exception of how to install outlets in my home. Here is an image of the lights and everything they come with as far as wiring is concerned.

Thanks in advance for any help.

if i was to do it, i would use a relay (should come with your kit) and wire the trigger for the relay tap it into your wedges and run the main line directly to the battery.

then find a good ground.

As for the switch find a grommet to run the wire through the firewall (check the ICE section for stereo installs where people ran new 12v power) and mount the switch where ever you want.

if the sw comes with a backlight LED, run the + to any switched fuse in the driver side fuse box and find a good ground.

walla, you're done. with this setup you'll be able to turn on the driving lights when your wedges are turned on (small lamps aka markers).
