Fog light relay

Hey guys Im tring to wire in a set of fog lights using the factory harness, and I know I need a relay, but where on the factory harness is the relay? I looked on the FSM and it does not show a relay. The relay box on the radator support shows a spot for one, but when you open the box there is no spot.

There is no foglight specific relay. the foglights are integrated into the headlight circuit and powered by the headlight relay. if you are using stock foglights there is no need for another relay, but if you are using aftermarket foglights that require more than 35W I would install an aftermarket one.

P.S. use either the Body Electrical Manual or the wiring diagrams for licating electrical parts, the FSM is **** for this.

Thanks for the note, but I did ref. the FSM in my first post, and I have page E-7 on my desk and your right I see that the fog share relays with the headlights, but like I said on the relay box it show a spot for a relay, so I figured I should ask.

And thanks again

The long relay box attached to the radiator support along the front of the car. The box that houses the horn and pump relays.
