Headlight buzzer relay

So I have one of these to warn me if I've left me headlights on. But the slot on the fuse box is taken by my fog light relay.
Can anyone suggest a way to get around this?

I had the same. Bought a buzzer relay and just swapped them over. Buzzer worked fine. Then came MOT and I realised I had no fog lights!! In the end swapped back and went down motor factors and bought one of the buzzer kits, ( basically a buzzer with two wires off it) two wires wrapped round blades of the right fuses and then when I take the keys out buzzer sounds if lights on. Buzzer is stuck to fuse board frame with a sticky pad.

Thanks for that. Makes sense. I should just be able to tap into it on the back of the fuse board and stick the relay up top like you say.

No worries. The headlight buzzer shares the same relay spot for front fog lights if fitted so I think that'll be why yours works.
