PIAA 520 Fog Lights
I ordered some PIAA fog lights and I was wondering what wire to connect to the power switch the instructions say to wire to a power source that is only powered when low beams are on I was thinking of connecting it to the stock fog lights but I would prefer them to be seperate thanks for any info.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman!
You want to wire them to be on with the headlights? Install the Putco wiring harness upgrade first. Isolate the wire that now activates the relay for your low beams from the stock harness...
Now feed the fog lights power direct from the battery (fuse in line near the battery) to a relay, then to the lights. Power THAT relay by the isolated low beam supply from the factory harness that activates the low beam relay in the harness.
That should kick the fog lights on any time your low beams are on.

Haha sorry about that. I already have a wiring harness which was included in the kit. I just want to know which wire to splice for the on off switch. Would the aux power outlet on the center console work?

Why? You can just piggy back off the low beam supply, it should be fine.
Unless you want to be able to turn them on and off...
I wouldn't use the dc power supply, I'd find a way to tap into one of the fuses under the dash.
