Help installing Hella lights

I have everything done but the switch and getting switched power. I want to get the switched power from the fuse panel. I didn't see one labeled parking lights and the one I tried "exterior lamps" was no switched with the lights. Which fuse can I tap in to? It's a 02 XLT that does not have factory fogs.

I have a relay hooked up the 4 relay wires which are RED - battery to relay, BLUE - relay ground, BLACK - to lights, YELLOW - to switch on installed in dash. Then I have 2 other switch connections to make GREEN - switched power (want to get from fuse panel), BLUE - switch ground

I want them to come on when I turn on the parking lights and I guess if I can't get fuse panel power I can tap in the parking light wire if someone can identify it's color and best location to get it.

I can't remember what I did. Too long ago. Except I used Bussman sealed fuse boxes with mini breakers. Worked great and keeps the wiring mess down.

FYI solid brown wire at the back of the headlight switch is the one I was looking for. Hellas are now wired and attached to the pre-runner bar.
