Googling is a very useful exercise:

Make up a harness yourself but do not use black only wires.
Black for earth connections
Browns for live wires directly from the battery
Yellow from switch to relay
Red/white from relay to lights
Green from the source for the switch to the switch
In the first diagram the switch is connected to the low beam (green
wire) which means you can only have the fog lights on when the the low
beams are on. I prefer to connect the switch to the town light so you
can switch on the fog light with any lights on. Some times low beams
reflect the light back towards you in dense fog and blind you. If you
switch them of and run the lower positioned fog lights this effect is
much less. Position the fog lights as low as practically possible,
without the danger of hitting curbstones, sleeping policemen etc.
If you want to fit spot lights you will have to connect the switch to
the high beam only, so the spot lights can only be switched on in
combination with the high beams to prevent blinding of oncoming traffic
when you switch to low beam. This is obligatory in many countries. Spot
lights are best positioned higher up to increase the field of vision and
diminish unlit area's on the ground
