Fog lights as DRL's?

I would like to have my foglights as my DRL's and not my headlights. Any info on what wires to switch around?

our 2007 Ford focus has a great headlamp control system the Daytime running lamps operate in the low beam circuit at half brillance the part we need to remember is to switch on the park and tail lamps as they do not come on with the DRL auto feature, when low beam or high beam is selected the head lights work normally there is a nice feature that allows us to use the fog lamps alone with the tail and park lamps by placing the main headlamp switch in parklamp position and switching on the fog lamps alone
this allows us to respect the eyes of the oncoming motorists and meet BC MV act regulations

You dont need to do that whole 2 relay monstrosity. All you need is two add-a-fuses. connect them together, then put one fuse in one, and 2 fuses in the other. Put the one with a single fuse into the DRL slot and the one with two fuses into the FOG slot. BAM Fogs as DRLs

To be fair, that was 3 years ago and I didn't know what the hell I was doing. Still don't, really.

I have an 06 ls that has a fuse in the fog lmp spot but no plugs or anything. I added a
Bumper with fog light inserts and want to wire them to the parking lamps. I bought
the h11 fogs and bulb connectors. Just need to know how to wire them. Any advice
