my oem mopar foglights seem to be different

just received my mopar factory foglight kit. came with the bezels, wiring harness,relays,etc,etc. but my replacement switch does not replace the "dial" type one in my truck now( i belive my kit is the new on for the 06 trucks)- it is a seperate "push button type" switch! which is fine. the direction are just pictures- no written words! i do have to make one slice. i have splice one foglight wire into the low beam wire- if i do this the foglights will only come on with the low beam headlights. so, i imagine i need to splice it into the parking lights if i want to operate my foglights without the headlights or with them on high beams. correct??

Thats what I did, I spliced the fog lights into my parking lights. That way I can run fog lights with only park lights on, with low beams, and with high beams.

That would be correct. I had mine dealer installed as part of the purchase. They installed the rocker switch to the right of the factory headlight switch. I will probably move my splice to the parking lights so they will work on the high beams also.

As above , my kit cane with the rocker switch. Directions take a little time but do eventually make sense. And yes wire to the parking lights and fog/driving lites will work with all combinations of lights, low/high or just parking lights. Easy install once the directions make sense to you, took me all of 1 hour to install.
