The 3 headlight fuses are in the SJB under the PS kick panel. The foglamp fuse and foglamp relay are in the distribution box under the hood. The fuse numbers and diagrams of both fuse panels are in your owners manual.

You'll also want to take note of Relay #10 which is the fog lamp relay.
If the #13 relay is there, then here's how to do the mod:
First disconnect the negative batttery cable. Then unclip the fuse/relay box (under the hood) so you can get to the wires underneath it. Once you unclip the box from the truck, the bottom part of the box can then then be unclipped and removed from the upper part which will give you much better access to the wires.
Locate the fog lamp relay (#10) in the box and then find the dark blue/light green (DB/LG) wire that leads to it from underneath (pin #1 on the relay). This DB/LG wire is the power supply that energizes the fog lamp relay. Clip this wire and seal the end that leads back into the wire harness. The other end that leads to the relay will be connected to a new power source, one that is live when the park lamps and/or head lamps are on.
Now locate the park lamp/trailer tow relay (#13) in the box and find the brown (BR) wire that leads to it from underneath (pin #3 on the relay). The DB/LG wire from the fog lamp relay needs to be spliced into this BR wire. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
Make sure your connections are good and that they are insulated well. At this point you might want to re-connect the negative battery cable and test out the mod before you buckle things back up. You should be good to go.

99 through 2003 use 2 versions of John's bent pin mod.
1999~2000
2001~2003
2004+ needs a simple wire mod:
2004+
A short word of warning: It possible that this mod is illegal in some states. Also, if you have headlights, a pair of aux lights and foglamps on at the same time, that adds up to 6 forward facing lights. Most states have laws limiting forward facing lights to a maximum of four. Although it is rare, people on forums have reported being ticketed for running six or more front lights.
