I'm currently refurbishing a pair of morettes and wanted to ask why the passenger side requires a relay and the drivers side doesn't?
I have a set of morettes fitted to my car but they dont have a passenger side relay fitted and appear to be working fine, although the output from them arnt very bright, which I assumed was just the fact they're morettes.
The relay has a 12v pin which I will connect directly to the 12v feed in the under bonnet fuse box, as this will be a new circuit I will install an inline 15A fuse, would that be a suitably rated fuse for this circuit?

It depends if your car came originally with crystals or not. If it had crystals and are wired correctly you wont need the relay.

My car originally came with crystals, so that would explain why the morettes on the car work without the relay.
Would the morettes work in my car with the relay?
Why is it that only the passengers side requires a relay?

Yes it would work in your car with or without the relay.
I presume its the way the circuit is designed so that the relay only needs to be fitted to the passenger side to the fusebox feed?
