Default 2000 SLE Foglamp Mod

Is there any sort of mod you can do on a 2000 SLE as far as disableing the daytime running lamps and having the ability to run only fogs? I have a friend with a 2002 Focus SVT who did it like this:

wondering if there was and fuse bridging or aftermarket parts that could be used to attain the same effect.

I'm not quite sure how to kill the DRL on 2000+ but I think there is a fuse under the hood you can pull and it will stop the DRL.

But you could/should be able to do this to run with your headlights off at night "Headlight disable circuit" http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/techinfo/?article=42

I'm sure others will chime & move this.

You can disable the DRLs

Hope this helps, any questions just feel free to ask.
this will diable the DRLs, however, your parking lights will still run while the fog lights are on, in order to shut off the paking lights aswell, you will have to install a switch
