Default 96-98 Depo Foglight Amp fuse or Relay help!

I bought a set of Depo Foglights the other night and there's a small chunk missing from what i assume to be the under dash wiring harness.

Here's a picture of what's missing, would any of you tech guys know what size amp goes there and where i can find just that piece alone. From what i remember it may either be a relay or an amp im not 100% certain at this point maybe you guys can lead me the right way.

Precisely in between those two cut red wires was something holding them together im just not certain if it was a relay or an amp fuse (box with the fuse in it that shuts)





Thanks for your time i appreciate this.

thats the plug for a relay! the red wire thats cut belongs to a fuse holder then to the positive of a battery or runs into the switch iirc. GL bro!

I just bought one of these today, actually. http://www.princessauto.com/trailer/...tc-fuse-holder


I'm in Canada though, so I'm not a huge help, probably.

I was curious too so I opened it up at the store to check - guess what? It's empty. So, you put your own fuse amperage rating in there. I don't know what you need for the fogs, btw - might be 30A?

I just checked my fuse holder for my fogs, I have a 15 amp fuse in it. If (v)atozone doesn't have it try pepboys or go to alarm shop and buy it from them . Or you can ghetto rig it and connect fuse with two female spade connectors... Just make sure you use heat shrink and electrical tape.

If you've got a soldering gun, just use that as a heat source ... hold it next to it or touch it lightly. You'll get it.

I can definitely solder, My next question though i didn't think i'd have this one but. My harness didnt come with a Relay of any sort. I went out and bought that fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse and now im looking at a how to instruction and i have no relay what so ever....now im a little mind boggled because what i assumed went in between thpse broken wires was a Fuse holder which it indeed may have been, my question is where would the relay even go on what part of the harness and what relay would i need...it's a DEPO foglight kit.
