Can I use a OD relay for fog light relay? 200 1986

If you are looking for the function of the OD relay (boots up in energized mode, alternate action from a button) then use it, but add a standard mechanical relay to handle the load of the fog lamps. As Volvodad points out, the automatic OD's electronic relay has a very thin circuit board trace in its contact path, sometimes made known to those who try to cure a frayed solenoid wire with a bigger fuse. The relay itself (inside) is the same as any other 30A automotive relay.
