My lights setup
Hey can you make some of those connectors with the relay and sell them to me?

Ingenious!
Why haven't I ever consider that... You sir are brilliant.

Yes I just used standard 20 amp. Its been 2 years and no issues sor far.
For the connection I just took apart some code cancelers and uses the couplers. This way everything can be set up to stock in no time if needed.


Also I just notice that these are available for fog drls on 13 models and later. Does anyone have these yet? Would like some reviews.

It would be way to much work for me. Plus If you do it your self you can make it exactly how you need it depending on where you are going to locate it.
You just need this:
and the code cancelers I showed previously. Plus of course cables, fuses and some electrical tape i guess.
I used this to make the connections between the relays.

I guess I can make a better diagram using the exact colors the relays have so you can have a better guide. I will work on this...

Awesome!
Thank you greatly.
I just want to clarify -
Is this color schematic using the stock color wiring...? OR, is it AFTER it has been corrected/modified > as per commented by users (this is from the link to the relays you provided) :
They are wired incorrectly in that the smaller gauge wires to power the relay coil are in the socket positions where the larger gauge wire for the relay switch contacts should be and vice versa. So you have to remove the wire contacts from the sockets and move them around to the correct positions. When doing this. I also discovered that the crimps are weak and some pulled out. I wound up soldering all the terminal lugs manually. Then when inserting the relays, some are so tight that they push back out of the sockets. So you can make these work, but be prepared to solder, rearrange, and manually insert the terminal lugs in these cheapo sockets.
But note that the wiring layout is as follows:
85 - RED
86 - YELLOW
87 - BLUE
87a - WHITE
30 - BLACK
When installing as-is, RED goes to GROUND, YELLOW wire goes to your switch, BLACK goes to Battery (w/fuse, of course), BLUE to your accessory, WHITE is if you have something that is dual-mode but typically left unused.
To wire appropriately and minimize confusion later in life, the RED and BLACK wires really should be swapped in the relay connector housing so 85 is BLACK and 30 is RED. BLACK would then be to GROUND and RED would be POWER IN from Battery..as is standard for electrical wiring.
Easy enough to change, but they should have been set up properly to start with.

In fact the fog lights are also connected using this setup meaning that fogs, led strip are on when park lights are on.
