FOG light relay is buzzing

[bovodo]

my "jdm civic fogs" from ebay have been working fine for a year now, but yesterday my relay for it started buzzing BAD!!!

do you think i need a new relay?

the relay is chinese i think. cant find it at any of the autoparts stores.
on the scion xb forums they use the same relay for their fog lights (YL-388-S) and said that GP makes a equivalent, part #: 41-5154 from autozone.

what do you guys think?

A relay is a relay.... try the automotive relay from radioshack, it can handle up to 40A and it's like $5

I wish it was $5. I had to go to the dealership for this relay. $50+ relay

Bam. $50 for a relay... psh. They're all the same, just be sure to figure out if you need a 4-pin (most common) or 5-pin

ive been using radioshack relays for years, works perfect. as finch said, "a relay is a relay". theres no need to pay $50 for one. its about $7 at radioshack now. part sku #275-001

appreciate the help....luckily i found a 4pin relay up here in alaska, but the new relay buzzes just as loud. Now I gotta buy this relay(part# 39797-SE0-004) and see if this is problem. Since the dealership was the only place that knew what relay this was, I had order it through them, which cost $50.
