Relay Question

[Tooch]

Ok, so i must be stupid because i tried to wire some lights this weekend and i hit a wall.

Here's what i managed to do:
Mount the Switches
Give a 15A power source to the switch
Ground the switch
Run a wire from the switch to the relay
Mount the relay
Ground the relay
Run a power to the lights
Give a 30A power to the relay striaght from the battery

Here is where i got stuck
I couldn't figure out wich wire went where on the relay?

I know there are 4 wires on this 30A relay (grond, from switch, power, to lights) but which one is which??

They are labeled and have a picture (will post when i get home from work today), but they are simply labeled 85, 86, 87 and 30. I'm assuming that the 30 is the 30A power source, but which one is which of the 80's?

If someone could help me that would be great, but like i already said, i'm going to post a picture when i get home of the back of the relay unless someone can tell me which one is which by the the numbers.....they all seemed to be the same numbers even on the factory relays. That's why i'm asking this way.

Sorry for the rambling and thanks for the help.

This is the picture from radio shack, but you can't really read it. I'll post a better one when i get home.

Depends on the relay, you need to look at the schematics on the side. did you simply buy this relay at autozone, or is it part of a aux. lighting kit? if the later there should be some directions.

If not, head back to the autozone, and pick up the entire wiring kit, there will be instructions on the back of the package, copy them if you have the same relay, then return it.

Well there is a picture on the top of the relay, but i can't post a picture of it until tonight. It does show a diagram, but it didn't make any sense to me, my father or a couple other people i showed it to. I think it was in Egyptian.

EUREKA, I've found it!!! After 4 hours of internet searching and not doing my work, i found hte answer i was looking for. So if anyone else was curious as to what the hell i was talking about, now you know.

Thanks anyway guys,

Connect the remote-on lead from the head unit to pole 85.

Apply ground to pole 86.

Put positive voltage from the battery to pole 87.

Attach the amplifier turn-on lead to pole 30.
