Do you mean the toggle or flip switch I plan on installing for the lights? I was planning on having only the ground wired through that switch. Is that the same as having power going through it, as far as amperage to the switch? I'm not an electrical genius but I always wire things like this in their own circuit w a fuse. Can't go wrong that way.
The aftermarket switch for the fog lights would be used to energize the relay. You dont want current for the fog lights going through that switch. Headlight switch is not involved at all

A relay typically has four terminals

1. 12V from battery
2. Ground
3. Switch or trigger wire
4. Output... (lights, etc..)
