i need to get this done in a few days. if someone could answer, you would save me $400 from going into my stealership's pockets!
so i buy a relay from canadian tire
buy some copper wires
hook up the wires according to your diagram..
(how did you find out which wire goes to the parking lights??)
where do you stuff the relay once you put everything together?
sorry, i just don't get all this wiring stuff.

You are retarded, that's why you need pictures. Someone like you goes to restoraunts where the entire menu is pictures. This way you just point and say: "this one". Maybe if you had stayed in school and learned some basics when it comes to electricity, you wouldn't have this problem. If you can't do something this simple, than you should simply stay out of an engine bay, period.
Or if you can use a computer, that's a hint as it took me about 5 seconds to find all the info one would need to do this. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.
It's just a relay and the schematic (4 pins) comes with it. If you can read you can do this.
BTW, I'm and electronics egineer and my dad is a telecomunications egineer.

I didn't touch any stock wires. I went out to Princess Auto and bought a cheap (just to pass federal) fog lights and wired them in. I don't like to mess with the stock wiring. This way you get all the wiring and connectors with the fog lights. My relay trigger came from the washer fluid level cuicuit. This will be the trigger to the relay when the ignition is turned on. The relay is just an electrick switch really, that turns on when power is applied.
