Just bought a pair of fog lights to mount behind my grille this weekend and on the box it said that it is recomended that a relay be installed. I was wondering the purpose of the relay is and if I can get away without it and just installing a seperate switch

Thanks for that! That helps a lot. The only other question I have is, what kind of relay do I go look for because I dont know a whole lot when it comes to electrical

 

A standard automotive 4 or 5 pin 30 or 40A will be suitable for fogs. You can pick one up at Radioshack for about $6 or $7 or you can buy a couple online for $10 or so.

 

Awesome! Thanks for your help. Ill be going out this morning to pick one up and.

 

40A Bosch at Advance Auto, about seven bucks and change or you can get funky like I did on my Jeep and buy a wireless relay with two key fobs online for $14 shipped and say screw running a switch.

I now have the key fobs for remote operation and programmed the unused button of my HomeLink to operate the lights from inside the vehicle...
