*Run "high circut power" from battery through fuse to relay location
1. Connect an eye connector to a 12 gauge wire (black) (mine is orange below) about 7-9 inches long connected with a 12 gauge blade fuse holder with a fuse.
2. the other end will be connected to the relay later

*Connect relay
1. Connect Power Lead (which runs into the firewall to Relay) using a 12 - 10 gauge .250" Female Disconnect Blade Terminal connector to post #87. (This is the low power source, you can check the relay your purhcased which may be different)
2. Connect the "out to Fog light" wire to Relay using a female connector to post #30 (this is the high out put power wire sending power to your foglights).
3. Connect ground to relay using a female connector to post #85 (use 8" wire with eye connector to then ground to screw on the car frame)
4. Connect "high power" wire (wire from battery and with the fuse) using a female connector to post 87.
5. Make sure your fuse in inside the fuse holder if not already.
6. If your relay has 5 connectors, the last connctor is not used (post 87A)
note: I personally decided to use electrical tape to tape around the female connectors to prevent moister or water getting on the relay connections.
