Default wiring lighted rocker switch/ fog light relay wiring

OK so I have been searhing this and other forums in search of specific details on how to wire up a lighted rocker switch for my 7th gen/2004 tacoma.

I have the fogs wired directly to the battery for power and I have a Toyota OEM three prong lighted fog light rocker switch. The switch works fine, n problem there. But I'm having trouble getting the LED light to work. I can tap into a fuse in the uder dash fuse box to get it power but it stays on all the time and I don't want that. I only want it to light up when the fogs are on.

The second thing I want to do is wire the fogs to a relay so that they are only on with the low beams. I have a 30amp relay with 4 prongs and I think I know how to do this. I found several drawing on this site that show how.

So the question I have for this is, how do I tap into the low beam headlight circuit so that the fogs are synced with the low beams?

Thanks for helping a newbie out.

Here's how the Hellas wire up..

I didn't run mine to the low beams as I didn't want to cut into the stock headlight wires. Instead I plugged into the headlight relay in the fuse box under the hood... So my lights come on and go off when you turn the headlights on. Then I can control either the long range or fog lights with the rocker switches. If I turn off my stock headlights they all go off.
