Time Delay Relay Doesn't Work

Just got my time delay relay from Retro-Solutions. I wired up my fogs to parking lights and figured I needed this to stop the fogs from flashing everytime I unlocked/locked the car.

So I hooked it all up, but it doesn't do shit. I'm not sure if I effed up the install or what. They work fine, HIDs still turn on, but they don't 'delay' anything.

Here's how I've hooked it up.

Btw, I only have 4 wires going to the original relay.

85-ground
86-power
87-signal from parking light spliced wire
87a-nothing
30-signal from fog light harness

It worked the first time turning them on, had a 5-10 sec delay before the fogs turned on, now it's just like before, no difference.

I've check my grounds, connections, crimps look good. Everything is the way it should be.

Any help would be appreciated.

85 - ground
86 - (+) parking light wire
30 - (+) feed from battery
87 - out to your ballasts
87a - nothing

What I don't get is how the relay is not blown completely sinking all that current though the 86/85 circuit or not blow the marker lights fuse?
