Default wiring/installing fog lights...?

ok so i own a 02 Z28 stripper and the one option i did want was foglights. i got the factory fog light set up and the interior switch anw how do i go about wiring in the foglights? do i have to buy relays or anything like that or is it a tap and go sort of deal? i did get the actual connectors for the fog light bulbs and now just dont know how to wire them in?

The factory system uses a relay in junction box #1 under the hood on the left fender. The cover is labeled to show where it goes. The relay's output is through the purple wire directly to each of the fog lights.

There may not be a purple wire in your harness since the car didn't come from the factory with fog lights. In fact, there may not be a relay in the junction box. If there is then all you have to do is run the purple wire to one terminal of each fog light bulb and run the other side from each bulb to ground.

If the purple wire isn't there you may have to run some of the other wires for the relay as well.

I am trying to install factory fogs on my camaro and I am having the same problem. I got the relay at a junk yard but where the relay plugs in, there is no wiring under it. So where does the wiring from the switch inside go to?
