Default 96-98 fog light relay keeps messing up?!

Hey guys, I installed a Depo yellow fog light kit on a 98 Civic. Installed per instructions and worked great for a few months. Then suddenly stopped working and heard noises coming from relay. Replaced with a new 12V 30A relay and fogs worked again for only a few nights and then stopped again. I replaced the relay once more and they didn't even light once! Can someone tell me why the relay keeps going out? Any help will do, thanks.

if you replaced the relay, just check all of the conections. if all the connections are good and tight, its time to get the volt meter and start checking the switch, relay, and wiring for voltage.

no if its just a connection that came loose, repair it. if the wiring is burned or something then i would replace it and find out why it burned.
