If you were to remove the wires from the bottom the low beam fuses one by one and look at the results (i.e. which lights no longer work), you should be able to identify the wire that will cause the fog lights to no longer work but allow the low beams to work. This is the trigger wire -- move it to the circuit with appropriate characteistics-- power windows, etc., if you want the fog lights to be on whenever ignitions' on, low beams if you want to run fogs w/o headlights, etc. -- and you should be good to go.
Thanks a lot for this...sounds like a plan for me.
