Red face Please help save my sanity!!!!!!

I need to replace my indicator relay on a 1996 GC8 sti type ra, the indicators and hazzards don't work and i need the car mot'd.

I bought a new relay but for the life of me i cannot find it near the fuse box on the drivers side kick panel, eben took videos with my phone and still can't see where it is and it's driving me nuts......

Please can someone tell me or show me a pic of theirs so i can replace mine, i can't even feel for it as it doesn't click........

So i found a relay clipped to the right hand side behind where the radio would be, but, it has only 3 pins? the new relay has 4, do i have the correct relay but wrong location or correct location and wrong relay?

I think the flasher relay is square and black..

OR maybe not :: found this post by 'alcazar'

"It's situated under the dash, high up on the driver's side. If you are a contortinist, you can see it, but not touch, or vice versa. Be warned, there are AT LEAST two under there, so if you CAN make it click, get someone to do so, while you feel for the one that is clicking, before pulling it down and releasing it from the wiring. Mine was fastened to the dash, but now hangs loose. Mine was green, if that helps and yes, it's a standard 6 light flasher relay, sold in most car places for a few quid. ...."
