Yes, Brian recently added this How-to at www.Generation-Edge.info. The photos work there:

Just so you know: this mod is technically illegal in most states and could cause you warranty problems. Perform it at your own risk.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
There are 4 or 5 large connectors at the SJB and the plastic shells are color coded for easy identification.
Find the the 22-position BLACK connector and then the OR/LG (orange wire w/light green stripe). Cut the wire 2" from the BLACK connector and carefully tape off the short end coming from the BLACK connector. (CAUTION: Do NOT confuse with the other OR/LG in the 32-position GRAY connector!).
Now find the 32-position BLACK connector and locate the brown/white wire coming from it. This is the wire you need to tap into to get the fogs to work with high, low and parking lights. Use your favorite method to tap the leftover harness end of the OR/LG into the BN/WH.
Reconnect the battery and test.

in the harness coming out of the 29 pin connector, locate the brown with white wire. Isolate it out from the rest of the harness.

This mod has been done several times and it works on 2004~2006. If you are having problems, then you have identified the incorrect wire(s) or you have a bad splice or fuse #2 is blown.

The Tremor fuse #2 is under the hood. The SJB fuse #2 is for the trailer tow running lights and that is what should be powering the foglamp mod.
A connector can have 32 positions but not all of them may be filled with pinned wires - hence Brian referring to a 29 pin connector. They are both the same thing.

I spliced the OR/LG & BN/WH. I then proceeded to intertwine the wires. I saw no results after trying various ways to connect the wires, so I did nothing permanent.

This probably doesn't help, but start over with the instructions. Begin at step one and re-check everything. I almost cut the wrong wire when I did this mod, but I caught myself.
29pin- find brown/white wire make sure it's brown and white, there is a purple that kinda looks brown.
22pin(above 29pin) find orange/light green
splice and connect wires
tie up loose end so it's safe.
