Front fog lamps - where is the relay..?

Can anyone tell me where the relay is mounted for the front fog lamps? Fog lamps aren't working - I've checked the fuses, switch and bulbs (all okay and power to switch) but I can't hear any relay clicking when I press the switch.

passy side wing inner wing under the bonnet, if they're originals - behind the LB if you've got one.

Do you mean this.....
I thought it was that one so I took it off and checked it with my bench power supply. When I connected the 12v it activated momentarily then released itself, which seems odd, so I wondered if I had the correct relay.

Ignore this bit - I've just discovered my bench supply unit is faulty. Measures 12v off-load but drops to about a volt when something is connected.
Great, that's all I need....

Been like that since I bought it from Manchester Campers. There is a relay in a similar place but on the offside which doesn't look original so maybe it's been modified sometime in the past for some reason.
Anyway, fog lamps now sorted, more by luck than judgement. It was a connector under the offside headlamp - one of the terminals was completely corroded away. In case anyone else has the same problem, here's where to find it....
Thanks for your help.
