Re: HELP...FOG lights

What they are having you do (I think) is run a relay so you're not running high amperage juice in/out of the cabin to the switch. The switch wires need to come out to a relay under the hood to activate the relay, then a power wire is run directly from battery to the relay, and out to the foglights.

So - when you turn on the switch, a low amperage 12v+ is sent out to the relay activating it, when the relay is activated, it makes a connection inside of it between the wire to the battery and the fog lights, so the foglights are getting 12v+ directly from the battery.

The relay should have 4 prongs, one is 12v+ from the switch, one is ground, one is 12v+ from battery, last is 12v+ out to foglights.
