Default Relay, fog/spotlights installation question

I bought a pair of Suzuki fog/spot lights and my 2003 grand Vitara had the wiring in so it has been a matter of plugging stuff in.
My questions are
do I need to plug a relay in ?
If so what type do I need? The rest of the relays are Denso





This is my fuse relay box

If you are using OEM fog lights with OEM wiring, you most likely need the OEM relay - most likely as in it is not there, and OEM because it needs to fit the OEM relay socket.

And just so that you're aware of it fog lamps & spot lamps are different - the intended use if different, so the design is different, the wiring is different and the mounting is different.

The relay pin out is a common design and not Suzuki specific. I "borrowed" an unused relay from the wife's Mazda 6 when I fitted fog lights to my XL-7 . You should be able to buy one from an auto electrical store.

Something to note is only the top right green relay socket is populated with pins- the others aren't electrically connected (if you look closely at your pics.) Even that socket looks like it might not have all the required wiring to function?

Many thanks chaps for the replies. I'm more confident I can sort it out. I'll let you know how I get on.
