Hi everyone, I have problem with my fog lights lately for some reason the fuse keep blow, I took every thing apart and put together, but no luck (it never happen before) I gave up and low the car down from the jack stands, and put the new fuse in, and it ok again and I drive for few days, and when I drive through some of the rough roads and the fuse burn again and last night I took every thing off again and test the ballasts on different battery and they are work like normal, and I install back on my car and replace the new fuse, when I turn on the light the fuse fire again do you guys think any it has to do to the rear afs sensor? reason I ask is when I jack the front car up and turn on the light, and the fog lights fuse blow? when I low the car down it work like normal? but now even the car on the jack or off the jack the fuse keep blow please help

it would probably be best if you use an relay. or you can also upgrade to a 25amp fuse. when i first fire up my hella gen 3 ballast on my fogs it blew too

I am using nissan gen 2 ballasts, is it safe to upgrade from 15amp to 25amp fuse

alan003

its safe. i been running 25amp fuse for more than a month now. but, i will run an relay when i find some time.

thanks you are saying it ok for my to upgrade to 25amp in the stock fuse box without using relay harness?

my fogs were blowing my fuses too. It turned out to be a bad ballast.
replaced the ballast and now all is good.
might just be a loose connection so sometimes it works and sometimes it blows the fuse.

I tested my ballasts on the separate battery, the ballasts and bulbs fire up normal, after I hook up to the fog light harness, as soon as I turn the fog on, the fuse blow right away why????????/

alan003

yep. the reason is because oem ballasts draws more power than aftermarket hid kits at initial startup. thus, i believe the best solution is to get an relay and draw power directly from the battery. and oem ballasts last forever :]

thanks, but I run the denso ballasts before switch to nissan ballasts and run for about three months without any issues? and I retrofit my 08 camry to rx330 projectors and run denso ballasts for months without relay harness with no problem? I don't know why on my fog like that

alan003

maybe its the nissan ballasts? switch back to denso?

I will try the final test tonight, if it happen to either ballasts i will go back to stock, to take off the bumper and put it back on is a work
