Car came stock with foglights, but no switch?

Like the title says, my car is the gta model with foglights. The previous owner swapped all the tan interior for black. The dash has delete plates where the foglights should be. I removed the delete plate and sure enought the connector is there, but no switch. Does anyone know how to cut the connector and make a custom switch? I have some switches that look very stockish, so if anyone can help me wire this up id appreciate it!

A wiring diagram should show what the switch does.
how many wires?
What are the voltages at the wires you have.
I'd imagine it's just like any other switch wiring and should not be very hard to wire up yourself.
What year are we dealing with here?

I figured that there would be only a couple of wires associated with the foglamps...
I was right.
I'm not sure now what the 7 wire connector would be though.
All that would be required would be a 12V + to the lamps then they go to ground.
Good luck.
