Default Help !!! One Fog Light Wont Work :(

I recently purchased the lextasy yellow foglight housings. Not a hard project I thought I should be able to do that in less than an hour.

My mistake. After changing the housings neither foglight would come on. After several refitments I got one foglight to work on the passenger side.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this. I have already checked the fuses. They all look good. I have a CATZ Zeta kit installed on the foglights. Everything worked fine before the install.

you mean you have hid kits on the foglights? how about take the bulb out and turn on the fogs like that, does it work?

If it's the HID, you need to use a relay harness to power them up. Or else you'll be blowing fueses left & right.

Thanks for the replies.

I have a Catz Zeta kit installed. Not quite HID (but brighter than factory) I've had these installed on my ride for a few years now. I dont use the foglights often but I made sure that they both worked before the replacement.

Each kit contains 2 (20) amp fuses for a total of (4) fuses for both foglights. I've checked all the fuses in the bumper as well as the foglight fuse in the driver side kick panel. All of them look good so far.

I would like to try your solution but I dont quite understand how I can check them if the bulbs are out.
