Headlight / fog light one works and one doesnt. Odd?
So I installed HID fog lights on my car and one day, the left side stopped working. I thought the bulb burnt out and just left it there. So now, i am just running with just my right fog light on with my headlights.
Well a couple of days ago, my left headlight goes out and my left fog light now works. Something to do with wiring? Anyone know how to diagnose this?

If you do a quick search, you'll find that no one can tell you what it is unless you diagnose it yourself.
You can start off by replacing the bulbs and then move on to ballasts.
FYI: These cars don't like cheap bulbs so use reputable HID bulbs in your car.

The HID bulbs are Philips Ultinons.
So on the driver side, if the HID goes out, the fog light works...then at times, the HID drive light would work, and the driver fog would work. that is what is happening to me. its like one or the other.

What HID kit did you use for your fog lights? Try replacing the fog lamp with normal halogen bulbs to see if it still occurs. Check the connection at the bulbs for all lights. If that doesn't work its time to use a multimeter and check the wiring. Well, that's how I would diagnose it.
