Did you disconnect the battery before installation? Maybe you blew out a fuse!?

Take a look at this diagram.http://catalog.com/susq/other/auxlamps.htm
Your wires should all be in the same places on the top half of the diagram.
On the bottom half is the switch diagram.
You were going to use the hot or powered lead from your factory fogs to connect to the relay in place of a seperate switch.
Its best if you ground at the battery. You also can use the body by screwing the ground wire to metal.
Use a test light to be sure you have a good ground.
