Broken foglight relay?

I have the Ebay fogs (JDM replica styled which can fit the Euro-R lip), and recently, I haven't been able to get my fogs to work after I removed the negative wire last time.

Once I connect the negative wire and turn it on, I can hear what sounds like the relay trying to make contact, and back, and forth, etc, at a very rapid place. Sounds like a very fast ticking sound essentially.

Does this seem like I have a bad relay? Any possibility that I can fix the relay (open, clean, whatever)? If not, where can I get one of these relays so that I can use the existing sockets and such?

Can you post some pics? I have some knowledge of relays and stuff, but I'm not sure what the particular relay your talking about looks like.

Are you sure you have a good ground? Chattering relay is often caused by a poor ground path.

This is the relay I'm talking about that came with the bootleg ebay JDM fogs:




Wiring and grounding seems to be ok, but I will check again to make sure...
