Any chance u have pic of where relay is on passenger side?

Noooo.... I think you misunderstood, Dom. The COIL portion of the fog relay has to be grounded - either at the relay (modifying the relay (bending it out and attahcing a ground wire to it) OR the harness between the relay and the dimmer switch has to be cut and the wire portion connected to the relay has to be grounded somewhere.
Nowhere does the stock wire between the dimmer switch and the relay come close to the area of the fog lights themselves.
When you look at the schematic, it all becomes clear.
OR, if you don't want to permanently disturb the stock wiring, NOR change the operation of the fog lights (turned OFF when the Hi beams are activated), the LOAD RESISTOR option is about you only option.
However, anytime you use a load resistor to maintain original control of the lights, you are not reducing the load on the alternator. Aside from operating the fans, the headlights are a significant load.
So, if you don't mind isolating the fog light operation from the (stock) headlight operation/configuartion, you CAN reduce the load on the alternator by grounding the (coil) portion of the fog light relay.
