Default Help with finding Relay

I had the dealership install the mopar-hella windshield lights. I am adding more lights. I can't find a relay. Just a fuse. Where is yours located? What is the amperage? Is it in the fuse box? Good thing that I'm bald or I'd be pulling my hair out.

According to the image in the PDF for the instalation from Mopar it looks like the relay should be in the dash right behind you steering column.

It didn't say anything about the apms on the relay. I pulled it up on the Hella site thinking it would say, but nothing.

Check under the dash, driver side, under the steering column.
It should have been tucked under/behind the driver woofer speaker.
Your going to have to get into a yoga pose to reach it.
It will be a block with 4 sets of wires shooting out of it.
There is a hole so the relay can be mounted but it never is.
I added 2 sets of these to mine.
The block by the battery should be the fuse.

OEM Wire harness for windshield lights:
Relay 30 amp.
Fuse 25 amp.
The instructions show how to hook up a second harness to the first, too.
Each harness will have its own relay and fuse.

there was a connector coming off of the relay. I was wondering what that was for.
