does it matter? :doh: if it fits, go with it. If not, switch it. Wiring isn't rocket science.

The fuse goes on the hot side. The relay probably does too, but relays can go anywhere depending on how they are wired.

There is nothing shitty about them, a friend of mine (HatchVX) installed them and got them working just fine. If you have any idea how to wire, it's simple.

Red wires are usually "hot" (+)
Black wires are usually "cold" (-)

Fuses are non-directional. You can put the positive and negitive on either side. Whichever side connects to the battery (probably a very short wire) is fine. Both sides will probably be red because it is still the "hot" wire.

The basic way I would wire foglights would be as such:



That is probably how it is set up in the depot kit. I didn't bother making a real electical diagram, because if you don't know how to wire you probably couldn't read the diagram anyway.
