Need some help with relay install for fogs (H11)
Since i have had HID's for my previous vehicle and loved it, i picked up a set of yellow 3000K HID capsules for my fogs. I am using my old ballasts for this install and they were using 9006 connectors. I was told to buy an H11 wiring harness and this way i could use the old ballasts with the H11 that is needed for the cars stock wiring.
Well i got them in the mail and they have no instructions are anything so i took a picture and wrote next to each connector where i think it goes.
So can someone just tell me if the locations i wrote down next to the connectors are correct or not?
Also, on the stock wiring, there is a green wire and a black wire, the green is +ve and black is -ve right? I am assuming that a black wire is always -ve and the other wire is positive whether it be red/green/blue, etc.
Thanks in advance.

The plug for the H11 was left unpinned do to the possibility of the polarity being different. I too would assume the black is ground but then again I've been wrong.
You've got everything labled correctly, all I would do is mount all of it up and then test which pin is positive for the H11 socket (put the black wire to a bare metal ground and then just plug the red into the H11 socket to see which is which) and then slide the wires into the male socket once you know which goes where.

1) The ring terminal at the end of the Red lead with the fuse block goes to battery (+)
2) The next thing you will have is the relay, you can just mount this out of the way
3) Then there is two flat pins that will connect up to the car's bulb plug on the same side of the car as the battery
4) You will then have on each side two connections left, one will fit the ballast power input
5) The remaining two rings terminals goto any metal chassis bolts for ground, these are where you want to be sure you have a good connection, so if necessary use sand paper to clean off any corrosion or paint on the car side.
