Default need help with relay

Okay...I feel like a complete noob right now.

Trying to add some additional lights to the truck. Am using the original fog light +12V as my trigger. Have +12V from battery. Have ground. Have Relay (Potter & Brumsfield vf4-45f11.)

So:
+12V trigger is coming in on 86
Ground is on 85
87a has nothing
30 is my +12V from battery
87 is +12V out to lights

Problem: I can't get the trigger to switch on the lights. I have checked trigger, it has +12V. When I connect battery +12V directly to lights, they turn on (of course right...this is how I verified ground and light operation.)

If my trigger is not switching the relay (trigger should activate coil, which throws 30 from 87a to 87...right??) is the relay bad?

Any help would be appreciated.
