Your relay consists of two circuits the primary and secondary, the primary goes from dip beam or sidelight wire on headlight which ever you choose, then through the switch inside your car then back to the positive primary on the relay, then the negative primary on relay is earthed to car body. The secondary should go from battery positive then to fuse, from fuse to positive secondary relay, from negative second relay to positive side of both your foglights which should be in a parallel circuit then from negative side of parallel fog light circuit to earth (car body) I think..

I think that's the rough idea anyway, if you can understand what I have wrote lol as I'm writing this from my phone lol their should be loads of information on google lol

looking at your photos one mistake i can see is your live from your side lights is wrong as brown is earth on all vauxhalls so you have no live pickup for a start , if you are a novice with wiring your best bet is use a circuit tester or multimeter and find your feeds that way
