I installed inspire fogs a couple of months back and everything was working great. 6 months later they just stop working. I check the fuse and still ok, I recheck all the connections also ok. So I have no choice but to assume the relay. I can feel the relay clicking when I push the button but that is the only thing left. Is there something else that might be wrong that I overlooked?
Also the inspire fogs came with a super made in china relay that I can't seem to find anywhere for sale. The seller I bought the foglight a from wants 30 dollars for a relay! Would anyone know where else to find this relay? Or perhaps rewire it for a regular Bosch type?
Foocle fls821-1 is the relay I found it on alibaba for .30 cents one 500 order minimum
Any help would be appreciated!

Based on this:

It is just a 40 amp SPST relay. Easily available in the states.

Thanks!! but When I search on line all the spst has the plugs have a cross pattern (up down left right) where as the one currently in my car goes 2 on top 2 on bottom ? Would I have to change that out all together? I have no electrical experience but I think with some help I could probably do it

Ok so I've been bothering a friend that works at an oreilly auto parts and found that an r3127 relay may be combatible with the foocle fls821 but it cost 47.99 where as the foocle is .30 usd but 100 order minimum . So does any one know what makes the 2 relays different ?

What I am really trying to figure out is can I just order the cheaper one and will it do the same functions as the more expensive? Are they even different ?

I don't know if you resolved this or not...

but similar relays are Shey Joung 804-1A-C1 and Panasonic CA1A-DC12V-A. These are 30A relays.

Panasonic one is readily available at DigiKey and Mouser (add .com respectively). About $6.60 at either. Omron used to make one, but no longer does (was part of their G8 series). Also Pilot Automotive PL-RY1, which you can find on eBay and elsewhere for $4.25 to $8.99.

Pep Boys R4136 and Napa AR374 too, but expensive.

This relay is widely used on ATVs and motorcycles as a starting circuit relay. Also widely used in 3rd party fog light/driving light harnesses. I just went through cross-referencing to figure out where to buy today, I need one for an ATV...
