    My year also doesn't have DRLs. Stock, I believe you need the parking lights on for the fogs to work. If you leave the switches on, the lights will shut off after you shut off the engine, and open the driver's door. Next time you start the engine, the lights come back on.

    Could tap into a hot wire under the fuse box. That’s what I did for some lights I have
