In the process of installing fog lights on the Zwitter. Have now 6v relay, correct fog switch, and Bosch fog lights. Looking for a wiring diagram and maybe a pic for the factory locations for the relay and the switch. Appreciate the help..

Lots of search results for this. Read a few and it will become clear!

Here is VW's take:

Generally, laws require fog lamps to be illuminated ONLY with low beam lamps. Therefore, the relay trigger power comes from the low beam headlight connection on the fusebox, and the trigger relay grounds through the switch.

Fancier option: On my '67 (12V) I wired it using the stock 4-way switch, which lit up when switched on; I buffed the pattern off the auxiliary heater switch lens (replacing the red "88" lens), so it glowed a gentle green with the fogs on. That required different wiring.
