Wipacs stopped working. HELP.

I have fitted a set of Wipac spotlights to my mcs and used the wiring diagrams that were on here. They worked fine but after a couple of weeks have stopped working. I checked wiring and noticed some green corrosion deposit on the relay.
I replaced the relay and they worked for a while and now stopped working again. I have noticed the same green deposit on the relay.
I have an inline fuse (25amp) fitted and followed all the instructions from here.
Does anyone have any ideas on why they stopped working and why the green deposit is occuring on the relay?

Thanks Pep

Update

While washing the car yesterday I noticed the spotlights had come on with engine off........ opened bonnet to find the relay bubbling and melting. I managed to disconnect the live wire and all the rest and binned the relay. Any ideas why this has happened?

Thanks Pep
