Year?
What year were you looking at doing this on? I advise not tapping into anything else, IE motors, or Running lamps. When I bought my car, the guy before me wanted his foglights to work without his headlamps on. SO he disconnected the foglights, and basically hooked wires from the ground and power of the foglamps to the Running lights. BAD IDEA. Yeah, that has really screwed me up in the problems that it has caused. After about a couple months of being used daily by myself, it first blew a fuse or two. Although i wasn't concerned i never knew anything about how he hooked it up. It ended up melting the plastic piece that plugs into the back of my headleamp switch. Plus melting some other important wires and burning some of the contacts inside of the headlamp switch itself, plus the dimmer switch. What i did was, I went to autozone and bought a kit that would hold enough amps to run it on seperatly. **This is from looking under the car.** I used the left foglight as the main one. From that i ran the power over to the right fog and same with the ground. And I cut the connector off of the back of both foglamps so that i could crimp connectors on. I then ran the ground to the body from the left foglamp. Next run the power from the foglamp to the inside, and into the back of the foglamp switch (find out which one is the constant power source) and hook it into the opposite. Next you run another wire from either the battery, or I ran mine from where everything electrical hooks up. I don't remeber what it's called, but there's that black shroud covering it on the right side of the engine bay. And this will connect into the source of the foglamp switch, the constant power that is. And make sure you put a fuse in the wire running from the battery or whatever. And there ya go, foglamps come on whenever you want with the flick of the switch, and the fuse is in the engine bay for easy access incase something shorts or blows.
Hope that helps, I've been running it like that for about 5 months now, constantly on, and I've had no problems whatso ever. It also seems to not have as big of a drain as well. Oh yeah, I did that on my '91. So i'm not sure if it would be the same for '94+.
