Well, I examined my diagrams and I am not sure they will be useful to you all.
I used a lot of relays and was doing some other weird wiring at the same time.
(For example, I wanted the fogg lamps on the side of the vehicle I was turning
to to come on whenever I had headlights on and was in a tight turn.) But here
are some hints:

Get power from:

Terminal 58L off the main headlight switch
Fusebox Low Beams position M2 through a diode to the + position on the fogg
lamp switch
Fusebox M1 position supplies power coincident with any headlight being on
Source of permanent 12 volt power routed through new fuseholder placed over
main fuseholder placed over main fuxebox position 17
Source of key-on power from G5 3-headed monster pin in main fusebox

Anyway, I am sending you my diagrams. You can post them or interpret them
better if you can figure them out. Please send me snail mail address.
