Default Where is the Parking Light Wire?

I tried using search but could not find anything. Maybe I just don't know how to properly read a diagram.

But I need to hook up a switch to the parking lights so that it can only go on when the parking lights are on. Where is the wire and what color should I be looking for? The only info I could find was:
    Any bit of help is appreciated. Hoping to finish up my project soon as I can. Thanks in advance.

    where'd you get that info?

    i got pin 33&15 for the L&R parking lamp... both brown wires.
    located in the 30pin plug (1B).. the 2nd one on the top.

    the taillights are pin 29.. but it in the 1A plug which is the top far left plug... also 30 pin.

    it's brown too... all turns on together.. so technically any of those three wires will work.

    i dont get it? you want the switch to turn on when the parking lights are on? It sounds like your doing something thats not gonna look or sound good at the end, but good luck finding what you need!

    guess I could have gone into more depth about it. i'm trying to hook up fog lights so I want them to go on when the lights are on.

    you will NEED to run a relay..

    the wiring is not going to be able to handle the amperage and WILL blow the TAIL fuse.

    I agree. You will NEED a relay. What you want to do is use the power from the parking light wire to activate and turn on the relay.
