    So i had a Strictly foreign body kit bout 8yrs ago w fog lights they recommended. i took the kit off and got rid of the bumpers but kept the harness, figuring id use it again someday. todays that day but i totally forgot how it gets wired. it has a remote on it so that i can turn the fog lights on and off w the car turned on or off. So any way i know how to wire them to come on w the head lights but the relay is whats got me messed up. if ne1 on here can help me or has had that fog light kit plz help me... thanks

    The problem with most kits is they use 14 gauge wire, and 12 gauge works noticeably better, especially after a year or two when things start getting old. I'd be tempted to first just replace the lights, then once they work upgrade the wire. If the switch gets noticeably hot, or even warm then I'd put in a relay as some of your voltage is being converted to heat instead of light but otherwise it is not mandatory.
