Default HID relay question

So here is my problem...I have HID's in my lowbeams and in my oem foglilghts. I want to put a relay for my lowbeam hid's. Might be a dumb question but im assuming I would need 2 relays if I wanted to add it to my fogs too? Would there be any issue at the battery if I have 2 relays connected to it?

No issue at all!!! Think about how much junk there is in cars! And doing two relays would be the best option. Go get yourself a 30 amp relay and some dielectric grease. Connect pin 85 to ground, 86 to your trigger wire (which will be the signal that turns the lights on) Then connect pin 30 to your battery (preferably with a 15 amp fuse) and then pin 87 to your lights!!

The dielectric grease should be applied if you bought a relay with a socket. I like smearing it in there just for some added protection.
