Default 04 C70 Fog lights wiring

Anyone know an easy way to have the fog lights come on independant of the headlights and highbeams? I still want them to be used with the switch and turn off when the car is off but I dont want them to turn off when the highbems are on and I want to be abme to turn them on without the headlights having to be on.

I heard that there is a relay that controls them. I think its under the fuse box but I cant seem to get to it. Just wondering if anyone might know the wire color for that relay that I might need to change or aN easier way of doing it. Thanks

Honestly, not if you want it to work with the stock hardware. It is computer controlled so you would have to disconnect the fog lights and wire in it's own switch to get this to work.

The only other option would be if the dealer could reprogram them.

There's a write-up on volvospeed to do a fog light mod similar to what you want.
