Corner lights manually on all the time

I am looking for a how-to on wiring the corner lights to a switch where they can be manually toggled on. I live out in the hill country where you need all the light you can get. The corner lights help light up the ditches and show the deer hanging out on the fence line.

I have searched and cannot find one.

If they are like the 95/6 corner/signal lights, it can be done by modifying the 1157 bulb IIRC, by using an 1156 and modifying the nub.

What type (#) of bulbs are they?

The cornering lights are different. They are completely off until activated. They are on the sides of the fog lights. I am not looking really to have the fogs on with highbeams since the foglights are almost useless. You cannot tell hardly any difference with them on or off. I like the cornering light because they light up the shoulders of the road showing the critters waiting to run in front of you.

I'm sure they can be wired just like the fog lamps.

Now that I think of it, that won't work. Fogs kill when highbeams are on.
