Yes. the switch isn't shown in that diagram, because the guy I drew it up for was going to be using his stock foglight switch to control them, and he already had a diagram that detailed how to wire a relay to the (negative trigger) factory switch to create a positive trigger.
You could also, just as easily (and more safely, running only a ground wire through the firewall!) hook pin 85 of each relay to a 2A fused power connection, then run the green wire back to your switch, and the other side of the switch to ground.

The relays shown in the diagram are SPDT relays...meaning they pull one set of contacts to two positions. There are relays out there called DPDT that pulls a set of contacts with one coil in the relay. I did a quick and dirty diagram of what it would generically look like...basically same thing as what turbo had, but with one relay instead of two.

I drew that diagram for someone that was going to be running 4x 150W (600W, total) lights. You can safely run 350-400W on one (30A) relay, but definitely no more than that.
