Do you need a relay for installing the fog lights?

I heard because the relay would control the amount of power and the fog lights supposed to turn off when you turn on the high beams. i was able to wire up the oem switch to the fog lights and i was able to make them work without a relay. Is it pulling a lot of power that it needs a relay?

What does make them work like OEMS really mean? Thanks

it is very very important to use at least a single power relay. pulling current for both foglights through the switch from some random source will quickly blow a fuse or burn out the switch.

you dont need a relay to deactivate them when the highbeams are on, but you need a power relay.

heres how to hook it all up:
