So I have my foglights put in everything. Fitment is great, and they look nice in the day time! Only problem is they don't work .

I remember my friend telling me I need like a .....I forgot lol I need something though! Here are some pics to help explain.




I remember that my car apparently doesn't have the fuse that connects to one of these . But that was so long ago I don't remember so I'm coming to 8th for help!

I can take some more pics and try to answer questions that'll help me, just trying to figure out what I need a links of the items if possible. Thanks in advance

Does the switch light work? Or nothing works? Check your fuses? Power line of the fogs?

Nothing works, I need the line that connects to the fuse! I think it was like...a housing unit or something I'm trying to find what he wrote down.

I installed the same kit....similar button, you have the fog light harness plugged into OEM harness? (passenger side washer resevoir)

how did you install everything? You dont need a fuse, this kit comes with wire with independent fuse, but you have to connect it to your battery positive and ground.

....okay help me out here haha. I think I do, actually yeah I know what you are talking about. It's in the OEM harness. But it's like a wire that plugs into the fuse box that I need I think. But I'm not sure .

Is yours up and running?

yes, mines running. My kit came with independent switch harness. Instead of plugging into OEM harness & installing stalk switch. I drilled a small whole in the firewall. Installed "switch harness" (with relay) that came with the kit. MY fogs turn on/off with/without - parking light, DRL & Highbeams. How did you install the switch? where is the switch harness plugged into? All the positives and ground is secured & bolted properly?

Below is a pic of my switch Harness.

The switch harness isn't plugged into anything that is the problem! And I think I need another relay. The foglight kit didn't come with a switch the plug into one of the fuse boxes. So I'm trying to figure out what exactly it is I need.

I appreciate your help man!

I'm having a similar problem. The harness i got connects into the factory plug by the washer fluid resevior and then i had another that connects to the brown plug or something down in the foot well. There is a relay similar to the one in the picture above that is connected to the harness and there are two wires that need to be plugged into the white connector in the fuse box area. Everything worked fine when i had HIDs with a relay harness connected. After i removed the HIDs, only the switch in the dash lit up not the fogs.
