Firstly, are you SURE you have PIAA's? (it should say PIAA on them)
Secondly, are you ALSO SURE that they are foglamps, and not driving lamps?
If they are foglamps, you should be able to utilise the wiring behind the covers for them, (if there IS some on an '02 car, but IIRC, there isn't a switch.
If they are driving lights, they need to be wired in accordance with the law on driving lights, ie: they MUST extinguish with dip beam. The way that's done is to wire them, via a relay, so that they come on when main beam is selected, but go off again when dip is selected.
A quick search on here will produce instructions for wiring on an '02 car.
