Default JDM Foglight Problem!!!!

Ive had jdm fogs in my 5th gen lude for about 3 months now.....they stopped working a month or so after i put em in and i found out the fuse was blown.....they stopped workin a couple days ago and i figured it was jus the fuse again...but it wasnt...i took out the fogs and hooked em up to the battery and they both light up...any ideas?? i checked all the connections behind the fogs and the connections under the dash....they all look good....any ideas???? it really frustrates me when stuff doesnt work, especially stuff like this

It has to be somewhere in the wiring. Did you replace the fuse with the same sized one? Time to get a multimeter out

:werd: Since you installed them yourself, it shouldn't be to hard to just trace over the wires. Maybe one of them got pinched somewhere along the line.

I'm with you, I hate when stuff stops working, you get all worked up and it ends up being something really obvious.

Retrace all your wiring again and make sure you don't have any wires exposed to metal other than the ground wire
