Legally, that's the way they are supposed to be hooked up. Didn't the kit come w/any instructions?
As you may know, a relay is nothing more than a low poweredelectrically controlled switch that controls (switches) a higher currentdrawing source, such as your fog lights.
Red/Black are usually the main (high current) powerfor the relay itself... the part of it that powers the lights, in this case, so you'd want to connect them into a high current 12v source.
I'm guessing a lot here, butbased on my own experience,you'd probably want to connect the trigger wire that sends power tothe switch(yellow?) to the low beam output (+) of the headlight relay. By doing this, your foglight switch inside only has power to it when the low beams are on.
