Then wen i turned them back on .. nothing. i checked my relay and even changed it, it clicks when i turn on my highbeam and spotties but no actually spotties are turning on.

Blown fuse in the main supply?

no fuses are blown but the headlight fuse is to hot to touch should it be like this?

First thing to check is the fuse from the battery to the relay, if that fails....
Use a multimeter to test for power on the relay while the spotlights are on. Check voltages on pins 86, 87 and 30.
86 is +12V from the switch, 30 and 87 are the switched circuit going from direct to the battery on one of them (via a fuse I hope), and direct to the spotlights on the other (it doesn't matter if 30 & 87 are around the other way).
When the switch is on, you should have +12V on all 3 of these pins.
If you get voltage on 86, but no voltage on 30 or 87 (which i'm guessing is the case, as you said it clicks), you either have a non functioning relay - unlikely, or you have a problem with the +12V in from the battery direct to the relay. If you have voltage on all 3, and the spotlights don't work, then the problem is somewhere between the wire from the relay to the spotlights.

might sound silly but have you checked your globes.
