so, i just wired up my foglights according to the instructions for it, with the oem harness and all of that. tried to turn em on, and nothing happened....not even the little LED light on the switch lit up. not really sure what to look for, the fuse is still good and everything is connected double checked it after it didnt work the first time. any help is appreciated!

If it's not your install it mite be the relay.

did u turn the headlights on when you tried to turn the fogs on? if not then that might be the problem. the headlights need to be on to turn the fogs on.Comment

yea the key was in, headlights on, even tried with the car started too.
hmmm, i got the fuses and relay with the harness, where would i get a replacement for it? im gonna recheck all the wiring make sure its done correctly, then see about getting a new relayComment

well if you got the relay with the harness then you might have a bad relay like antonio7566 said. not sure where to get replacements.Comment
-
also, do you have to have both bulbs connected? i only had one in because the passenger side pin was broken so i have to get a new one on there before i can hook it up.Comment

Start with the simple solutions for now
Are you positive the bulbs you have are working?
My ground pin on the wire broke off on one side and the other had rust when I first tried them. Replaced the female connector and sanded off the rust on the other and it worked o problem after that.
And my light on the switch doesn't work so that could be why your light doesn't turn on
Just some suggestions

ok so i found out the #3 and #5 pins werent pushed in all the way in the fuse box. i thought that solved my problem, but when i went to turn them on, still nothing. but now i hear a little clicking sound when i hit the foglight switch that i didnt hear before, like something turning on. but the led in the switch or the actual foglight wont turn on still. edit: the clicking sound is the foglight relayLast edited by 206CB7; 05-22-2011, 06:18 PM.Comment

So what was the problem? So other's that may have a similar issue can read this in the future.Comment

well, besides the 2 wires in the fusebox that werent plugged in all the way, the grounds on the actual housing of the foglights were pretty rusty. and one of the ground connectors were broken so i had to replace that too. also, i didnt know this before but the bulb wont turn on unless u have the clip that holds the bulb in the housing touching the base of the bulb.Comment

I had this problem with mine
The ground at the very end of the B harness had came off. its a small spade connector that you ground to the inside of the radiator supportComment
