Wiring help needed for fog lights

RE: 1951 Packard 200, with intact 6V charging system.

I have a set of fog lights that I have mounted on the front bumper of the car. Now, I need your help in putting together a wiring system to operate the lights. I've gleaned from some posts that I need to use a 6V relay. So, here's what else I know:

Since the lights have a single wire to them, I surmise they are grounded through the bumper?

I need some kind of switch on the dash.

A power wire from the ign s/w to the dash s/w.


My ability to follow directions is pretty good, my electrical knowledge sucks. I learn better from pictures and written words. If someone could please tell me how to design the fog light wiring system (or show me is even better) with a list of parts and directions I could then do it correctly. Thank you in advance for taking the time to "shine a light" on my project.
