Yes, I agree. That is what I did with my Prelude with OEM Foglights. Positive side of FOGLIGHT Relay coil to Parking lights instead of Low Beams, so Fogs will turn on with Parking lights instead of Headlights. Negative trigger from switch remains the same and untouched.

turn off the fogs when u turn off the car. I arleady have the habit of doing this with my headlights because I have s2000 projector retrofits and they flicker too when starting the car if I leave my headlights on ON or Auto. I stop leaving my headlights on because i've burned a set of HID bulbs already because of this. I admit I could build a time delay relay but I'm just too lazy haha.

If you get a fog light relay from the vendors here, it won't flicker. Unless it's something else.
