You have to completely make a wiring harness. My plan when I had the fogs was to go to the junkyard and cut a relay block off a gen 3 Camry (the small one that has the fan replays). I then cut the wires and had 4 wires coming from a relay. Since it is the same design as a basic relay just wire it like normal (switch, power, ground, relay power) and then run the wires to fogs. You also needed a switch, inline fuse, wire and time. This is why I abandoned it. If you got the DDB kit one end would plug into the lights the other end into the es300 fog connector. The rest of the wiring is custom.

well i have DDM fogs but they are H3 in projectors for the Camry not ES. But all you do is setup the relay you buy for them tap it to the battery and tap the other wire to the lowbeam and your good.

Yea and the switch and run the wire everywhere and make it look clean. That is where it becomes tedious.

The junction block idea is good because it is only like 10 bucks at the junkyard, came with 3 relays, looks clean and factory, and from there you just need a switch, electrical tape and wire.

Ok but remember in doing that they will always be on. Even when it's broad daylight.
