Ok, here's the story: I was at the drags last night. During midway on the track my charging light comes on. I was returning to the pit area and noticed my car vibrating a little bit. I thought I busted a motor mount. Anyways, I popped my hood to find out that my crankshaft pulley is crooked and my alternator belt missing. I find out that the crankshaft pulley bolt came loose, the pulley turned sideways, and ripped my alternator belt off. I was towing the car back to my friend's shop and he was in my car and I was in the tow car. I noticed my foglights were on during the tow, but as soon as we reached his shop the foglights turned off. I haven't been able to get them back on.
I hard wired the foglights to my battery and the foglights turn on. I checked my fuse and it turned out to be good. My relay is clicking as well. My foglight switch illuminates too and the green light turns on when pressed. I haven't been able to search for the problem since I was busy today.
I posted to view other members' opinions on where to locate the problem before I search tomorrow. I might be thinking it's the wire connecting the interior harness to the engine bay harness. Guidance is appreciated.

I ran the single wire along the driverside headlight wiring harness. From visual inspection, the wire still looks intact.

They were bright. I replaced my alternator belt already and they still don't turn on.

Does it have to be a Honda relay or can I just pick it up from a parts store? Is there a part number for the relay as well?

Alright, I'll remove it and see if the parts store has a similar relay. Thanks

Alright, I ordered a new OEM relay from the link below since none of the stores carry the relay in the state.

I hope it fixes the problem.
