I suspect what Packard meant to say in the bulletin was parallel with the parking lights -- not series -- so that when the parking lights are on so are the fog lights.

Since headlights are not usually used with fog lights and parking lights by themselves are not a good idea and, I believe illegal in some states, that might work. You could tie the fog lights together and connect them to the parking light terminal on the fender junction block. The headlight switch would supply the voltage thru the normal headlight breaker located on the switch.

If you did want to be able to turn the fog lights off when the parking lights are on you could still take the power from the parking light terminal at the headlight switch and run it thru your under dash foglight on/off switch first.
