Default 5th Gen Fog Light Wiring ...

I bought a set of "OEM Style" fog lights off ebay about 2 years ago. I had some wiring problems in my 5th Gen Accord and never installed them. Well in that time, I happened to loose the instructions on how to install them. I am curious if anyone knows how to install them so that when I turn my headlights on (driving lights and low beams), they fogs turn on also. Here's a picture of the kit that I purchased which doesnt have the same wiring as an OEM kit. Any help is GREATLY appreciated...thank you!

Mine turn on when I turn on my lights, the switch has to be pushed in, they won't come on without the headlights being on

Wire the wires straight into the headlight fuse on the fusebox, instead of to the switch

I pulled the wiring for the switch and drew a diagram of what I am left with ...



I dont know where to connect the two ends of the wiring now. I'm guessing that the wiring on the right get's connected to a constant power source (battery) and the wiring on the left gets connected to the headlight fuse or relay to turn the fog lights on. I connected it that way, right wiring to battery and left wiring to headlight fuse and it blew out the 15a fuse. Obviously I have it hooked up wrong. Any ideas on how to make that circuit complete and turn the fogs on with the headlights?
