Does the relay "click" when you turn on the lights?

Also, check your ground connections.

I think you may have a bad relay…. If the relay isn't working, tap it a couple times it maybe stuck.

My fog lights are factory but I have installed fog lights on a bmw before.

Just throwing this out there but assuming the fog lights are HELLA.

Is the yellow wire that goes to the parking light or head light spiced from one of the white wires with the colored stripe? I think the ground is a dark orange on the headlights.

its a rough job Les, when i'm in portland, i'll bring my **** and help you out. also, i had this, and the ground connectors that actually go to the foglight assembly itself, arent the best , and they fall of. Make sure those are on tight. Along with the relay...and as for the switch, i just bought one @ autozone, and put it next to my ASC switch.
