these fog lights have a relay box.

theirs:
2 positive wires : one for battery and one for fogs
2 negative wires: one for battery and one for fogs
1 orange wire: access. for the wireless remote
Make sure you understand how to wire up a relay and how a relay works. If you wire it up wrong, something's going to blow.

You have a low power circuit and a high power circuit. The low power one is powered by the power tap on the fuse panel I put up. The high power one is the one that goes from the battery to the lights.
The way you have it described is WRONG.

You really should get the wiring diagram. A picture of the parts don't tell us much.

While I was waiting to buy my 05 I was looking at various ideas about installing fog lights - after I bought my 05 AP2 I found that the beam pattern throws as much light to the sides as any fog light I've ever had (various Hondas and a few Audis). I have never wanted more light on the side of the road.
