Default how to automatically shut off aftermarket fogs?

which wire do you need to tap to make the fogs sync with the parking light
it's the brown wire right,
that brown wire only supplies the power, it doesn't automatic shut off the light when you open the door without the key on
if i confuse you guys, PM me

run the fogs through a relay, and have the relay remote lead hooked into the parking light circuit. relay goes active whent eh parking lights are on which sends power to your switch which sallows you to turn the fogs on/off.

that sounds easy, but maybe i'm not getting it, still
it does come with a relay it's all connected to plugs
and from that plug it's connected to another plug running to the switch
so essentially, in my car, i only have a switch and a red wire comes out of that switch
i'm thinking that wire is the power wire. i connect taht to the brown wire, the parking light. it doesn't do what you say it would do.
don't know what i miss out here, unless i have to run another wire from the relay to that brown wire, no?
