the white wire with the fuse seems to be what i want to hook to the positive
my last pair got fukced up so i thought it was the way i wired it so i don't want to **** these up even though they got a little burnt cause i just hooked them into the wiring from the other set

in your photo, youve got it all right. the red wire should go to you parking lights (so the fogs are on only when you parking lights are on, and when your headlights are on so u dont forget them).
connect the other end of the red to the swtich where it sez supply volts. then connect the white wire, thats coming out of the relay to the red wire, to the switch where it sez on acc. then ground all the black wires with rings. ground the swtich too if you want it to light up

USE THE RELAY or else your switch will melt.

Someone doesn't know how to use a relay. :fawk:

seriously, if you are gonna do it right, use the relay, one lead goes to the battery and another to ground. A third lead goes as power to your lights and the fourth lead goes to the switch. The switch has three prongs. One is ground (car chassis), one is power (any 12 volt source in your car will do, i would probably tap the cigarette lighter wire), and the last one connects to the relay like i said before. the lights connect to both the relay and to ground (car chassis). Don't be afraid man, its a simple circuit and hard to screw up too bad. You can find a diagram for what prong is what on the relay online, and your switch should include similar documentation, or you can just buy another one for 3 bucks. good luck man.

ok slick, ur the man, you obviously know whats up, but ask yourself this wise guy. If theres no relay in the kit, why all the extra wires in the first place? and if there is no relay, why would you follow that stupid ass diagram created by some cheap ass engineer when the proper way to do it us to use a relay so you don't fry the switch with the potential 20 Amps that the battery can throw out. So dont start talkin trash til you know somethin about circuits. If there isnt a relay, he should go buy one and trash that diagram in the first place.
