Question Help needed for connection relais

Hi. I´ve bougt an illuminated Logo for my F-Type.
Also a Remote Relais to switch on the Logo, when the headlights are on.

But I need help to connect it right.

The relais has 5 ports:
V+ for the wire from the car (the positive strap from the headlight)
V- for the ground from the car
COM for the negative strap from the logo
ON for the positive strap from the logo
NC for ?
When I connect it like above, the relais is switching, also with the remote. But the logo doesn´t glow.

Has anyone an idea what I´m doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Right. But in this case, it’s ‘normally closed’, as NO is ‘normally open.’ The relay shorts NC to COM when the relay is not energized, and NO is shorted to COM when it’s energized.

It shines very bright, so I´ve decided to switch it via remote.
