Question JK LED Fog Light installation

I recently purchased a set of LED headlights and fog lights thru ebay. The kit came with instructions for the headlights, but not the fogs. I emailed the seller & received the following diagram. I understand the 2 wires (positive & ground), but does anyone have experience with the yellow wire mentioned as connecting to the "ACC"? What/where should this wire connect to?
Thank you.

Figure it out yet?? ACC might be your accessory switch(turn key backwards or to ON)? Mine were plug and play.

I haven't had another opportunity to check out the fog lights. The stock lights had a wiring harness with 2 connections. The new lights had a similar plug, but also the extra wire labeled for ACC. So I'm not sure exactly how to access the wiring for that yet. Thank you.

most people connect it via a jumper to the side marker lights. that way when you turn on the marker lights but not the headlights your halo will turn on.

That accessory wire is the trigger for the halos. If you don’t want the halos to illuminate, just terminate that wire. If you want the halos to illuminate as daytime running lights, run it to a key-on acc wire. Or, as said above, run that wire to the side marker light to illuminate the halos when the lights are in the running lights or headlights on position.

Thank you all. I was able to get the headlights set up by connecting the white halos to the parking lights and the amber halos to the turn signals. Now I think that I'm going to get a fuse tap to connect the fog lights (yellow wire) to the ACC. Thanks for all the advice. Hoping to wrap this up this coming weekend.
