Default HID Foglight Help/Issues

I bought a fog light HID Kit not sure which brand as this was almost a year ago. I installed it and it didn't work. I installed it on another IS-F and it worked. I ordered a different kit, this kit is a Mobilehid.com kit and it doesn't work either on my car. People rave about the mobilhid.com kit and that's what I figured should work. Nope

Checked the fuse underneath the driver side knee area and the engine bay by driver side for that fuse and both are fine.

I'm not sure what is going on, can't seem to figure it out. I spent 5 hours yesterday and 3 hours today in Houston, TX heat and can't figure it out.

I tested the old halogen type fog light bulbs and it works.

Help will be much appreciated.

There is probably nothing wrong with the kit, Toyota/ Lexus usually requires you to switch the plug (connector upside down or in reverse and change the polarity) - this is the two prong connector with a lock tab on it - to remedy the lock .....just tie a zip tie around the connector to keep it from slipping.


This should solve your frustration.
