all the fuses get blown everytime i try to turn them on.
i know that the relay is working because it makes the click sound. here are some pictures that i took. if you see something please let me know. i really want them working.

Pictures waaayyyy to big. But the wire that goes to the fuse box is supposed to be in the second from the right, I just did this day before yesterday on mine with no problems. Did you wire up the ground?

Pictures removed until I can get them resized and hosted back up.

Please! DO NOT post pictures that large, especially without a warning in the thread title.
Some of us use older laptops that cant take the large images.

It will take a couple of hours by yourself, longest in getting it wired how you wanting and cutting the damn bumper out.

I have the JDM foglights and was wondering if I could just hook them up straight to the battery w/out a relay. Also I wanted to install a aftermarket switch..

Is there an issue if I don't use relay?

Your pic seem right cuz i have mines set up like urs.
( dis step will help u solve ur prob )
Disconnect the fog light n press the fog light switch again
if the fuse dont blow den its ur fog lights
( dis is where u find out which fog light is bad )
Den connect the right fog light, den press the switch again to see if its bad or good
Do the same to the left fog light.
After doin that yall find ur prob...
