You require the proper schematic or pin out of the relay(s) in question.

Otherwise you will not know which is the coil, common, or N.O, and N.C contacts.

Let us know the relay configuration and how it is orientated, with the housing faced forward (print side) and looking away from the bottom.

I usually tap into parking light circuit and use it as a turn on for relays used for fog lights, neons, and any other exterior lighting, with the switch for each inline with it. Thus, the aftermarket lights wont be on if your lights are off (usually fog or neon lights wont be turned on during the day when your lights are off).

Find a spit on the fuse panel that goes on with the key.

You can use a test light or a meter to find it. or look for the fuse that is for the interior lights and tap in at that point with a fuse tap terminal.

you could just hook it in with the hot lead to the battery next to it.
