Default Fog Light help

Alright guys need some help here.

My driver side fog light has gone out.

I thought it was the ballast so I bought a whole new HID conversion kit and installed it. The light still doesnt work.

checked fuse. fuse is good. still doesnt work.

replaced steering wheel light stalk. still doesnt work.

any ideas on what else to check? did i miss anything?

all the wires are connected right blah blah blah. only other thing i can think of is a bad wire in the harness. dont really want to go tracing the wires if there something else i can check first.

car is a 99 gs 400.

thanks

Joe

that definitely sounds like a wiring issue somewhere. There are not really that many things to go wrong other than the things that you have already checked and replaced.

Sorry I could not be any help! Good Luck

first things first, grab a cheap meter from radio shack or walmart and check for your 12v power supply at the wires to the ballast...then go from there

good luck!

EDIT: Then with that multimeter u can ohm out the wires in the harness to check
