Is it DLR only or DRL only?

DRL = Daytime Running Lamps, and has nothing to do with the Fog Lamps.

Jeff, I'm asking because I want to learn something I do not know; you
can't tell me you never had to ask for advice.
Anyway, you are correct, it was DRL, which would make sense as to why
it is missing (as to why it is labeled "Fog" I know not). I have made
headway, however, so I hope you are willing to assist me further. I
know a very minuscule amount about electronics and wiring, so I'm
sorry if what I type does not make sense.

Since the relay was in fact correct, I decided to switch the identical
A/C and Fog Light relays in the fuse box under the hood to see if it
was a bum relay. Nothing changed; A/C still continued to work and Fog
Lights did not--so the relay was good. I then thought maybe they
disconnected the switch in the dash when they took them out. I took
off the center piece and pulled out the switch panel, and it was
indeed still connected. I then pulled out a multimeter to check some
of connections. I could get a reading from the plug going into the
back of the switch, so the switch was getting power; however, the LED
light on the switch never lightes up. I then took the multimeter to
the front wire connections. With my low beams on and the fog light
switch on (though, still no LED lit), I could get a reading on the
front wires, which went away upon turning off the low beams or lights
or switch. With the multimeter setting on 50V, the needle went to 10
(this is what I am not familiar with). It took some fiddling with to
get a reading. I thoguht I had it, but pluggint the lights in still
rendered nothing.

Any ideas as to what could be wrong? I doubt I got two bad lights...
