If you actually purchase the part it will come with instructions. It is wired in with your parking lights and is activated with its own lighted switch. Therefore if the parking lights are not on and you hit the switch it the rear fog light will not switch on. However, if the parking lights are on and the switch is flipped the rear fog light will be illuminated.

This is what the switch looks like in my car. I have two switches installed because the body kit I'm using comes with optional front fog lights that I also purchased. The far left switch is for the front fogs, the **** is my Subwoofer control ****, the push button above it is for the Nissan Japan underseat lights and the far right switch is for the European rear fog light.
