If so it's easy. Just get a factory switch AND the harness (just need the plug with a few inches of wire coming off of it)...
I unfortunately can't remember the exact color combo but I believe the green (+) and grey (-, but they could be vice versa) wires are illuminant wires for the switch (just piggyback these onto your stock foglight switch's wires with a vampire clip), the black wires are grounds and the brown wire is power coming in and the other wire is the power going out to the halos.
The easiest thing to do is use a tester on your factory plug to find out which one is power coming in (with the e-brake UP and the car turned on only ONE wire should have power going to it, the rest should be dead)... That will be the wire you send power to...
Actually, screw all that, here's the easiest way to do it...
1) Figure out which wire coming off the factory switch is actually going out to the foglights (sending power out). It's not the green wire, not the grey wire, probably not the brown wire and probably not an all black wire so whatever is left I would start testing with it... Vampire clip it (the wire coming off the switch that is, not the one going into the car) to the wire going to the Halos (hook them up, ground them and run their power wire into the car) and see if the foglights and Halos both come on AND GO OFF with the switch now... Keep trying untill you find the wire that works.
2) On your Halo foglight switch harness (the extra one you are buying for the Halos) piggyback every wire EXCEPT this wire to the wires on your factory harness. Just match the colors...
3) Run the final wire to the power side of your Halos (the wire you already ran, tested and it worked).
That should be easy and quick
