OMGHi2U Using stock foglight switch with store bought wiring kit

We just installed some factory RS foglights in my friend's older impreza using a store bought foglight wiring kit which basically has three wires connecting to the switch:

power - connected to positive battery terminal, fused in between
ground - grounded in the car
lead out - wire goes to the positive terminal on the foglights

This works fine when using the ghetto switch that the kit came with, but we want to use a factoryswitch. I've seen a few diagrams of the factory switch that all seem to contradict each other. We tried following one today and only ended up with a blown fuse.

Could someone tell me how I can hook up a factory fog switch to my setup (power, ground, and lead out).

Thanks
Jonathan

Cool, thanks for the response. I was actually looking at that thread and that diagram last night, but I found a few other diagrams that contradict that one, hehe.

So, my constant power wire from the battery I can hook up to "ACC Power" pin 6, and my positive lead out to the foglights I'd hook up to pin 4, with the ground of course at pin 2? This worked for you?
