There's a lot of voodoo going on in there. You actually need both the 201 and the 213 relays in place. Then they even tie into the 104/108 highbeam relay, which you should already have in the underhood relay box. The 213 relay appears to be a bridge relay to work between the 201 fog light relay and the 104/108 highbeam relay. So that the fog lights do not operate when highbeam is selected (DOT requirement). What have you done so far? Installed a factory switch and one relay? The wiring is there also for the rear fog light position if you want to install a switch and 1156 bulb in the left tail light socket. But I really see that as worthless. It even confuses US drivers that may think one of your brake lights is stuck on or one side is burned out or something. Not really sure the 213 is required to work the system and I'm not gonna climb under the dash to find out. But you can try just the 201 relay and see if that does anything.
