Yeah. I had to do the same when I got my JDM fog switch.

It is safe to assume that any earth wires will be back, so earth them off. Make up some circuits using your test lamp and the cars battery and investigate what each wire does.

A pic of the JDM pigtail would be helpful in assisting you

You can see two lines of wires top and bottom.
Obviously in top line you have only one BLACK wire, name it 1. On bottom one from left we have BLACK 2, RED/YELLOW 3, RED/BLACK 4 and RED/BLACK 5. You are looking only for wires No. 1,3 and 5.
Wires BLACK 2 and RED/BLACK 4 are used for night ilumination

So, according to second post from this link

You should know what to do. Hope you will be alright. Just let us know how it goes.

^^ That is what I was wanting to see.

The two black wires will be the earth's
The red/orange is the wire that activates the relay
One of the red/black will be to illuminate the switch
The other red/black is the main power for the switch

You need to match these up with the writing for the existing switch.
