The fog lights and headlights have no fuses or relays.

They are controlled by solid state devices on the TIPM circuit board.

I have my fogs tripping the relay for my aftermarket fogs. There's an inline fuse next to the battery but not on the fog wire, is this safe?? I assumed they had a fuse. Is an inline fuse necessary on that side too or will it be okay?? That's the question

For all practical purposes, you should be fine. But you can increase the margine of safety by adding a 3 amp fuse. The OE system is designed to protect a larger load than just a simple relay. The new fuse would effectively reduce the reaction time of the protective system incase of a falt.

Thank you I may eventually get around to it.
