Bought and installed a new set of front foglights. In the package there were the 2 lights, 2 bulbs, a new double fog light switch + new lights switch, a fuse and a relay.

I installed everything except the relay. I don't know where to stick it. My car doesn't have an LKM. There are 2 free relay slots in the fuse box, but both of them only have 4 connectors, and the new relay has 5. The p/n for the relay is 61368373700 and it's light green.

Suffice to say, the new lights haven't lit up yet, so any suggestions are welcome.

I have tried a couple of things, for example replacing the only existing relay with 5 legs with my new one, but the fogs are still dead. I dunno. I'm going to try to get some info from the company I bought it from (if you guys haven't come through before that).

Thanks Mitch. Looks like i got a very similar set. My lamps are the same as those.

But my fuse box looks nothing like yours. You also got an orange relay and I got a light green relay.

Here's a pic of my fuse box. Anyone know where to stick the light green thing?

It would appear that I should put the relay in the empty slot on the pic. However this slot has 4 connectors and the relay has 5. I'm just afraid of frying something.

i think you got a wrong relay...double check it
