Default Question about my hids

Hey everyone... I recently put some 35w hids in the low beams and fogs. They look sharpe but I'm having 1 small issue. If I leave my lights on auto the driver side fog won't come on until I turn the fogs off and back on. Low beams work fine as well as the passenger fog,. Im thinking its something with the ballast since the other lights have all been working. it's been raining and Havnt had a chance to check it out. Any input would be great!

I would suggest swapping your fog components left to right to see if yo can isolate which component is causing the issue. It is possible that the ballasts are not getting enough power which is why the light is not igniting.

Ended up ordering a set for the high beams and swapped the ballast, seemed to correct the problem.
