Re: R.I.P Fogs
bulbs still good?
Double check your wiring is still good/in tact?
Does the relay click when you turn the switch on (assuming you're using a relay)?

Re: R.I.P Fogs
i checked the wiring and everything seems intact (though i didnt check if the fogs were still connected to the harness)....i guess ground and relay i'll have to check tomorrow, they can become bad that fast? worked perfectly turning on and off just 2 days ago unbelievable lol
appreciate the quick replies

Re: R.I.P Fogs
Maybe you reversed the wiring and blown it?
Some LED's light up once, and they blow out right after if ground and 12v were reversed
Check the bulbs
And if they're fine, try directly connecting it to 12v source and grounding it it properly
see if they light up
If they do, its something between the lights and the power source, prolly relay

Re: R.I.P Fogs
also, if you don't have a multimeter, you should pick one up. You can use that to see if the relay is working without having to listen for the click. just connect the positive lead to the 30 post of the relay and the other to a chassis ground, flip the foglight switch, and see if the multimeter is indicating ~12 volts.
either that or use the resistance checking mode of the multimeter, connect one lead to the 30 post and the other to the 87 post. When you flip your foglight switch, it should display some random value, then settle out to something like .3-.4 ohms.

Re: R.I.P Fogs
soooo i went to check the relay and the relay was fine, i went to go bolt it back on (its the same bolt where i used a ground) and my neighbor came over and i dropped the bolt inside somewhere....soooooo i put a new 1 in and BAM!!! the fogs worked lol so i guess it was a ground after all
