I have a 2000 VT Acclaim with a VX SS kit about to go on, does anyone know what relay I will need to get for the fog lights?

Assuming it's going to be wired into the existing factory loom, it's off to Holden you go to get the specific one for it.
If you aren't using the factory loom, then a 40 amp, 4 pin relay will do. Commonly available from any auto shop.

They do that quite often....
If you need any relays for the car that use the factory wiring, ALWAYS get the factory relay. DO NOT use after market generic ones, as these can be wired differently.

Good to know, cheers :) Picked 1 up today from Holden for $10.
To go slightly off topic, I'm also after the globe for the cluster. Holden apparently don't have them anymore :/ Is there an after market one I can get or should I try and get one from a wreckers?

You just get the clear globe and you will find that the globe, already in the cluster, will have a little orange silicone cover over it
to give the cluster the orange look.
Just remove the orange cover from the old globe and put it on the new globe.
The silicone covers are available separately in different colours except blue.
Blue are not made any more.
