Questions on Wiring Hella 500 Driving Lights with Factory Volvo Switch 200

I am trying to wire up Hella 500 driving lights in my 1979 245 and am running into trouble. I want to use an original Volvo 240 'fog light' switch for a "cleaner look" and tried following the factory wiring diagram instead of the Hella wiring diagram in the kit-- but got stuck. I have power running from my fuse box at fuse No. 10 (auxiliary light fuse) to the Hella relay slot 30. I also have the lights wired into the Hella relay slot 87 and properly grounded.

Where do I go from here if I want to be able to turn on the driving lights with the Volvo switch whenever the car is on? (Anyone out there have a diagram of this modification?) And why is it the Volvo 'fog light' switch I have has 3 prongs on the back?

Any help would be great. I am out of my element with wiring-- I am much better with big clunky parts like the suspension :)
