I don't have 4G manuals so I can't be certain, but this is consistent with how Suzuki has wired headlights on most vehicles I have looked at, they fuse the headlights separately and switch the negative, it's done for safety reasons, a failed fuse won't take out both left & right headlights simultaneously.
This diagram comes from an Australian facebook group, I've not attempted to confirm anything.

I checked the head light fuses thinking I could just add a circuit to that but the fuses in the engine bay seem to be “live” constantly even with ignition off?

Based on what you have told us, it is acceptable for the rear fog light(s) to be switched on when the front fog lights are on, irrespective of the headlights, if the car has front fog lights, those should be positive switched.
Negative switching...
The lamp in the first circuit is positively switched, the lamp in the second circuit is negatively switched
Negative switching...
The lamp in the first circuit is positively switched, the lamp in the second circuit is negatively switched
