Fog lights

I want to install some fog lights on my 2006.5 Optima. I plan on putting them in the fog light cut outs. My question is this, is there some where I can tie them into the low beam circuit so I don't have to install a switch. My wife's Sorento appears to have the wiring next to the cutouts, but the Optima doesn't appear to. I know I can rig it easily to a switch, but I don't want to have to remember to turn them off.

Ok, so i figured out if I connect the fogs to the taillight fuse, they will be on when the taillights are on (what I want). The next question would be does it have the fog light wiring harness installed already or not?

I'm planning on doing the same thing in the near future. I've looked behind the fog light cutouts and i don't see any harness or wires there. I know that the OE switch is on the same lever as the blinker. It is another switch that turns forward on the blinker arm, but this switch is not installed unless the car comes with fog lights from the factory. I guess the only way to have a switch is to install one somewhere, or you could hard wire it to the low beams so they are always on when the low beams are. Please keep this updated so i can get some beneficial info for when i do it. I'm ahving a hard time figuring out which foglights to purchase, since i want them to look close to OE.
