Wiring problem

Ok guys I am having a hard time finding out what harness the fog lights wiring goes. The wiring on the lights themselves is purple with a black strip and another wire that is black (ground )
The light used to work but now they don't. I have checked the switch and the bulbs and they are all ok. So now I need help tracking the wire. Does the wire change into another color when it goes into the harness?
I did a search but it wasn't very helpful.

If you will check the switch, you will find three (3) wires there. There is a brown wire at pin "B", a purple (purple/black in your case) wire at pin "A", and a black wire at pin "C". As you know the purple wire goes to the foglights and the black wire goes to the ground. The brown wire goes to the foglight relay that is located in the left corner of the engine compartment near the firewall. There are four wires going to this relay and they are the brown wire from the switch, a black ground wire, a light green wire from the left headlight, and another brown wire from the left headlight. This relay is sometimes located on the left fender wall near the hood lift support.
