JDM fog light install need help with some wiring Q's (pics and diagram included)
well i got some jdm fog lights for my hatch and i already started mounting them and everything without really knowing how to wire them up. now that i have them mounted i need to get them to work wouldnt you say? 
these are the round fogs im talkin about this is the only pic i really have of my install
my electrical knowledge is very minimal and kind of embarrassing so please bare with me.
what i have:
2 fog lights with two wires coming from each
fog light switch with 4 wires coming from it
heres a diagram i made of what i understand so far
is this correct in any way? and if so where do the other 2 wires coming from the switch go?
any help would be much appreciated

Nice fogs! I have the same fogs on my hatch. 1st question, witch fog light switch do you have? I have the ef9 jdm switch and i think it only has three wires. One wire is the ground, another is the power from the fuse box and the last is the one that goes to a relay to turn on the lights.

Remember that you will need to install a relay, You can get power for the switch at the fuse box I used the pin for the parking lights to power the switch. Then i used a old A/C harness that has a relay wired up in it. It looks kinda stock.
