HELP needed ASAP! HID fog install trouble.
I'm in the process of installing a Zenon Depot 6000 Volt system and what seemed to be a simple plug-n-play install isn't. 
The fog lights dont come on. The bumper is hanging off the car and i just wanted to check my work with everything connected and there is no light from my fogs! Any ideas?
UPDATE: Bumper is reinstalled after rechecking connections and still no lights. I hoped that it was maybe a ground issue that would be resolved when the bumper was completly installed but no luck. ANY INPUT?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with a kit i bought that supposed to be aplug and play
and since i have seome experience in wiring i just decided to tap in to a 12V
power supply and put it on a separate switch.
but prior to that when i was testing it with the stock fog harness it kept on poping the fuse...it instructed me to put in a 20a fuse vice the 15or10amp fuse for the stock setup.
even with the 20 it wasnt poping anymore but i still had no output.
so i just rewired it on a separate source and switch.
That's your best bet or return it and get an actual kit that someone already has and is working on the stock IS300 harness.
I lived in WA and I bought it in Canada so the rewire was my only option.
Hope this helps and good luck

I had this same problem with my GS. Do a search. It depends on the kit you have. Some have built in resistors and others don't. The ones that don't have a issue when used with the fogs.
