u want them to turn on when just your fogs are in? I just did this, sort of. Cut the fog light wires, there's a white for positive, black for negative I believe. Splice in your power wire from kc light in with your fog light power wires. do the same for your black ground wires. I cut my fog wires and decided to just run the straight to the led fog/daytime running lights.
on a side note, I just figured out you can turn on only ur fogs without the headlights on by going one click up on your light knob and pulling out on the knob. I knew you could do that with the headlights on but for some reason never tried running just the foglights alone

Not recommended. Running your KC's in fog will make visibility very poor. But if you just got to try it, just simply connect the relay of the new system to the OE fog light circuit.

Just splice into the ( + ) wire on the OE foglight wires. Then tie that to the ( + ) input of the aftermarket relay. Just one single wire from point A to point B.

You have to use a relay. The factory fog light circuit is not rated to handle 130 watt lights.

You can use the factory fog circuit as the trigger to switch the relay off/on.

Here is a simple wiring diagram:
