Does anyone have a diagram, pictures or link how to best wire/install Fog Lights?

Ordered some single wire 6V lights w/ mounts from Snyders

Also looking for recommendations on a switch type and where to locate it on a '31 Deluxe Roadster.

New to Model A's - so appreciative of many helpful people out there!

Welcome to the Barn!! I used a sigle pole/single throw switch (similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/IndusTec-Pos...utomotive/dp/B0985FPDLC/?tag=atomicindus08-20) and mounted it in the kick panel under the dash (above my left leg). I installed a fuse inside the kick panel.
 
I use a fuse too, in my fuse block. I use a magnet to hold the switch under the gas tank near the steering column. The magnet is mounted to the switch with epoxy. I used magnetic clips to hold the wires leading to the fog lamps. I used stainless steel flexible conduit. Sources are below. No holes drilled.

Flex conduit, Page 11 of Restoration Supply catalog:https://restorationstuff.com/catalogues/RestorationSupplyCompanyCatalog2020.pdf I used the small diameter. This is the same conduit used for the head lights and horn only smaller.

Magnetic clips:https://www.mcmaster.com/wire-management/mount-type~magnetic/ I used the V style which are holding up well under the fenders along the frame.

In a Model "A," power for the fog lights should come from the left terminal of the Terminal Box, so its current draw registers on the Ammeter. There should be an ON / OFF switch and a fuse or circuit interrupter in the power line to the light. The fog lights need to be well grounded.
