Foglight problem

I purchased and installed the Honda OEM fog lights in my '07 SI the weekend and while driving home 2.5 hours Sunday, they seemed to be flickering on and off. I could hear the relay clicking on and off under the dash. The foglight symbol kept flashing in my instrument cluster and then they stopped lighting altogether for a while. Then when I arrived home and got back in the car an hour later they worked perfectly all night, then stopped working again this morning. Has anyone encountered this before and what could be the problem? I'm thinking it may be the relay and I'm gonna check it tonight but am wondering if anyone has ran into any different problems at all. Thanks.

Re: Foglight problem

Pretty sure I've fixed my problem....it wasn't the relay but there are 2 grounds.... one beneath the dash and one under the front bumper. Anyone installing the foglights themselves make sure when hooking the ground under the front bumper they sand down around the hole as it looks like bare metal but is actually painted. Seem to be working fine so far... Finally!
