Hey CL!

So the other day my left fog light just stopped working. Im running an HID KIT for m fogs and never had any issues since i installed it last year. My passenger one is still good. I already tried re-seating the connection, the bulb looks fine and ballast looks good. I tried a brand new ballast and bulbs and still doesnt work. My relay is clicking when trying to turn on and off the foglights. I checked for fuses and only located one in the engine compartment which is only 1 fuse for both fogs? I also do not have a owners manual to see if there is another fuse for the fogs. Any advice or information will help. Thank you in advance! BTW this happened last Friday during the storm. Can it be water in the connection and needs to dry? Sound logic but its been a little warm the past couple days in MA.

Please HELP Thanks!

Have you tried using the OEM bulb in that location? To see if voltage is properly going through?

Also, Why are you using a relay kit? Foglights throw a full 12-14v to the bulbs. So there is no need for it.

Have you taken a multimeter to the 9006 connection to see if there's any voltage feed also?

Im not using a relay kit, i kind of wrote this fast and sorry for the mis-communication. . I was trying to say that the relay is working and i can hear clicking when im turning the on and off switch on the column. Also i haven't tried a regular halogen bulb. Also i dont have a multimeter at the moment.

Update, so I tried my old halogen bulbs and they do turn on. Now I had a spare brand new hid kit laying around and they don't work. Still just my passenger side fog working. What else can I do?

You sure the polarity is correct on the hid kit? Possible the kit is doa.

No probs, just trying to help best I can

My buddy who has an accord used a relay kit on his low beams, and says the shop told him it's a better idea for god knows what reason.... LOL, that's why I wonder why you went with a relay kit. My bad

Glad it still works! SLOW4DR is right on the money, next step would either be to test if the kit is DoA, or if polarity is correct. You simply flip the connector backwards and see if it fires up or not.

You can check if it is DoA by connecting the positive and negative (if you have spare connectors/wires around) directly to the battery to see if the bulbs fire.

Also make sure they're 9006 connectors and not 9005, it does matter, and I had a kit that was sold to me by an idiot, whom had sent me 9005 connectors for 9006 bulbs.... MOST kits are universal, some aren't.

what wattage is the hid bulb?

ksan

The one im running now is 55w , and my spare is 35w.

Also I did trying flip flopping the connector and still the same results :/

Do you have the capabilities to put together a jerry-rigged harness? With butt connectors to the 12v feed of the battery to test and see if the ballast works correctly?

ksan

that's a negative.. But I can possibly attempt this. How would I go about doing this?

I'm sorry, they're called female wire connectors.

That's an example, as you don't need 150 of them, your local auto parts store can supply them.

Mate this with at matching gauge wire for your lights and u should know the rest .
