Thumbs up DIY:Day time running light Disabled with stock fog light remain function

As some of you people have figured out that after disabling the DRL the stock fog light wouldn't work. Here is what I have done, which was mentioned in other threads it wasn't my own idea, but just thought that having this step by step thread would help a lot of people like me who doesn't know much about cars.
Here are the stuff that I bought
1. White wires

2. Ring Terminals

Steps
1. Locate the DRL
If you don't know where it is you can read the thread below.

Here is mine

2. Unplug it
if you unplug it, you will have the harness like the picture below

3. Locate the orange wire on the harness (see the picture below)

4. Plug a wire into the other side of harness (Don't have to cut the orange wire) cut the skin of the wire like the pic below then just count which hole the orange wire is in and then plug the wire into exactly hole but opposite side of the harness.

5. Find a place to screw the wire with the side that has ring terminal (Ground)
To connect the ring terminal to the wire is easy
but remember to cut off the skin of the wire first like above or else it won't work. Then you will see something like this.

Here is where I grounded the wire

The place where I ground the wire already has another black wire which came from the factory. Therefore I just unscrewed it and put them together, since it's quite near the harness anyway.
6. Enjoy your factory fog light whenever you want with DRL OFF!!!




It is by law that all the vehicles in Canada has to have the DRL. Therefore, I did this so that I can use the fog light as my daytime running light. When I have the HID install later on, I won't have any troubles with the DRL anymore.

PS. Since the fog light is controlled by YOU, therefore please remember to turn off the fog light when you leave the car, or else it will just drain out the battery. I said this because after I've done this DIY I have forgot to turn it off for quite a few times.

Sorry that I only got a NOKIA 6288 to take picture with, hope that this will help some of you guys
