Do LED fog lights need a relay?

A relay is an electrical switch that lets a low current circuit control a high current circuit such as a large LED light bar. If you are using a light pod that does not have a very large amp draw, you may not need a relay switch, but if you are using a larger LED light bar, they are a must have.

Why do LED lights need a relay?

Relays can be used to switch a low-current trigger to high current, switch a circuit on or off, reverse polarity, and much more. When adding LED lights, such as off-road light bars, driving/work lights, or other auxiliary lights to a vehicle, you must add a circuit to power the light adequately.

Does it matter which way a relay is installed?

The orientation of the relays shouldn’t really matter. On the bottom of the relay you will see the numbers 85, 86, 87 & 30 marked. 85 & 86 are the terminals connected to the relay coil (the relay control circuit) and 87 & 30 are the terminals connected to the switch contacts (the relay load circuit).

Can you use any relay?

Most Automotive relays follow a strict design style that allows them to be mostly interchangeable. One of the most important thing is to make sure you relay is the correct voltage (most common is 12 Volts), and has enough current capacity (Amps) for your application.
