I just wired up these driving lights. I used a relay. Do I need to install an inline fuze? If so should it be between the battery and the relay? Or between the relay and the lights?

you want to fuse the power lead from the battery that goes through the relay and on to the lights. . fusing the battery lead that energizes the relay itself will offer no protection if you have a ground on the wire to the lights. . maybe just semantics but rather be clear about it. .
