Question about foglights...

I recently replaced my bumper with a Warn winch bumper. The bumper came with brackets to mount the stock foglights, but it also came with a $200 set of 5" Warn stainless steel spotlights. They included the whole wiring harness and switch, but I decided that I wanted to use the stock switch to turn them on and off. When I disconnected the stock harness behind the bumper, I found that there was a positive wire and a negative wire. I connected the positive wire that used to go to the OEM foglights to the switching circuit on the new relay. It works fine, but sometimes the foglight indicator lamp on the stock switch will get really dim and sometimes when I turn the foglights on, i can hear the stock foglight relay click twice really fast. I'm pretty sure that these things are caused by the lower resistance of the relay compared to the stock foglights. Should I add a resistor in series with the relay to increase the resistance of the circuit? Would this resolve the issues I have described?
