Ok David this is from JJ's post in your topic. This should cover most of your questions.

Hook your middle or light position of the switch should be the turn on for your relay (85), run 12 volts and ground to the switch from an alternate source and you are off to the races.

So the switch has to be powered and grounded too still? So it'll have three wires to it, correct?

What is the purpose of using a relay?
Using a relay keeps the high current portion of the circuit away from the switch and pulls the current directly from the battery to your KC's. The relay also allows you to tie your lights into a secondary 12-volt circuit such as your high/low beams or ignition.

thought that was a good explaination^^^

here is a diagram for a LIGHTED switch

So what do the fog lights run off of Fuse 3A?

this may be a little off subject but my damn fog lights are out... they both went out at the same time.... bought new Bulbs and still nothing... but i have no idea what fuse it is in the damn fuse box.... there is no diagram... does anyone know what fuse the Fog Lights run off of.... and the fog light switch indicates that they are on....

The fuse/relay list and maps of the fuse panels are in the owner's manual, usually somewhere near page 200.
