Relay For HID's & Fogs

So I've been having some issues with my HID's & my HID fogs where they flicker a little every now & then as if they're going to cut off. So I purchased 2 relay's for the kits. I connected both of the headlights already.

Now my question is how can I run the relay to both HID fogs? The connector adapter piece isn't long enough to run down to the fogs, I'm guessing due to me having the fogs zip tied to my front bumper. So where else could I mount the fogs without having tension on the HID bulbs to the kits?

Drill and screw into that metal bumper frame with stainless steel sheet metal screws. Has given me no problems so far. I even went and got some 3M double stick tape to throw behind it before I screwed it in for some shock resistance. Granted if anything goes wrong, you have to drop the bumper to troubleshoot.

Nice setup!! But does the OEM fog socket long enough to reach up to the ballast from there?

It is if the ballast has a decent length of cord. the OPT7 has about 6 inch socket cord coming off the ballast. Some ballast have a direct connection for the OEM socket.
