That's the wire you want to connect to ground to make the fogs light whenever you want them to. The white with a black stripe wire is a ground, or you can connect to a chassis ground.

So when you say, "whenever you want them to" does that mean I have to switch them on every time I want to manually using my fingers. Can I not just attach the wire that turns them on to the same wire that turns on the parking lights making them turn on with the parking lights? And I will take a picture of mine and post it so you can help me out with this in more detail.

The picture you took is that under your dash (steering wheel)?

Picture was taken with the lower steering column cover removed.

Correct on this would allow you to turn on fogs manually (via fog switch) in any state (car on/off, headlights off/parking/low beam/high beam).

To have the fogs come on with the parking lights you would leave the orange(brown) position wire alone and move the yellow wire from the connector to the white wire pointed to by the arrow.

By moving it I mean snip it and tap it to the other wire mentioned.
