Red (in picture).

Where does each go?

It depends on there position in the switch connector. There should be four wires entering the green connector.

I'll have to take it apart tomorrow and see. I only found three wires.

To explain this a bit better, here is a top and bottom view of an open switch with the connector plugged in:

Okay,.. so there are four wires going into the switch. But I only found two coming out of the harness + the ground wire. The other one must be hidden inside the harness or be merged with the red/yellow wire coming out. As I put it back together already, I'm too lazy to take it apart to check, unless it really becomes necessary. It's so hot outside...

The good news is that the fog lights are working, and the switch is working.

The bad news is that, at least as far as I can tell in super bright sunlight, the switch illumination is still on with the ignition off.

I guess I can snip the "third" red wire, i.e. the one next to the grounding wire, to resolve this issue? I don't really need switch illumination or dash light; when it's dark I can tell by looking where I'm supposed to be looking while driving, to tell if they're on.

The reason the light is still on is that the lighting and switching circuits are bridged. In order to separate them, you have to split all four wires apart.

Snipped wire, and nothing exploded. Now everything works perfect.

Thanks ctscott!!
