1966 foglight wiring question

Ok guys. I need help. I am looking at trading my extra set of wheel covers to aqua66gt for his foglamp wiring. But I have a question. My cars original underdash harness was really cut up so I replaced it. Well, as it turns out my reprduction harness HAD the ring on a wire that connected the ignition switch to the foglamp breaker, but I accidentally shorted it out by thinking it was a ground and connecting it to the dash. (I was 16 and didn't have a wiring manual then, plus the originals weren't built into the harness) Thankfully, that wire getting fried didn't damage my harness so I cut it open (carefully), cut out the damaged feed, and then re-taped my harness. So, now the question. Can someone show me how that feed goes from the ignition switch to the breaker? I read Veronica's "The Care and Feeding of Ponies" blog entry about how to wire foglamps and she says that we are supposed to supply it. Thanks guys.

BTW, I just want to take the chance to say thank you guys for not correcting me. Being british in school is difficult because I get corrected all the time. I say the bonnet (your hood), the boot (your trunk), hood (your convertible top), and I say fog LAMPS instead of fog LIGHTS. I also say things like aluminium (NOTE SPELLING) and pronounced alu-mini-um. So again thanks.

Ok, so what was the wire that they had put into my harness that I fried. Was that just the reproduction company's way of making it easy to install fog lamps? I am so lost now.LOL
So, basically, by your drawing, I just have to get a wire the same gauge as the rest of it, put the ring end that on it so that it can be attached to the C.B., and then, wherever I put the other end is entirely up to me, as long as it has constant voltage?
That would matter, because that means that it will have 65 wiring, not 66 wiring. February and March was when they started the swap between 65 parts and 66 parts.
