Fog Lights & Daylight Running Lamps Question

Fog Lights & Daylight Running Lamps Question
I'd like to add fogs and DRLs to my Ex that came with neither.
As far as the fogs go, I'd like to use the factory switch. Mine currently doesn't have the fog icon on it. Is the wiring already there? Do I just need to install the lights and swap out the switch?
I'd also like to run DRLs but NOT using my headlights since they are HID and I don't want them running all the time. Ideally just some LED lights (or maybe tied into the fogs?)
If anyone could shed any light on this, I'd appreciate it.
Edit: So I found part # 2C3Z-11654-DAB which is a headlight switch with auto lamps + fog (I have auto lamps)
Edit 2: So it looks like if I can track down the DRL module I can simply hook it to the fog lights instead of the headlights?
Edit 3: For DRL it appears I at least need parts 2C3Z-13B21-8AA and 1C3Z-14A601-AA, not sure if I need anything else.

check you switch, you pull it out to activate the fog lights, yes to #2 you will need your led lights! Some models came with the drl wiring. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...hats-this.html

Pull the headlight switch, if the plug has the yellow wire in position #5, it is wired for fogs inside, just replace the proper headlight switch. It's a matter of finding the harness under the hood and plugging into it. The relay is built into the SJB. As to the DRL's, IIRC it's all plug in as well. I know on older trucks it was an easy add.

Here is what I ended up with. I used some cheap LED lights off ebay, just make sure you get water proof ones.
Finished product
How I mounted them.
With grill back on.
Close up with them on.
I ended up wiring them in thru a relay, and to trigger the relay key on hot wire. Every time the truck is running they are on, and are not nasty to look at and are bright enough. If I want them off I just pull the fuse in the line to the relay.
