uhh... wait.. did you connect the relay to the wiring harness at the very least?

if they're mentioning where to mount it... then whatever.. place it wherever is convenient

did you remember to turn on your head lights?

the fogs (w/ normal wiring) only turn on when your low beams are on.

they are not on when:

1. low beams are off.
2. high beams are on.
