I ordered 2 55w 8000k HID kits from DDM and I installed my headlights no prob and i thought i installed my fog lights good with no probs as well, once everything was hooked up i went to test them all and the head lights work great but the fog lights wont do anything, I still get the fog light symbol in the car, but no fog lights... Anyone have any idea why this is?

The foglights are reverse polarity, try switching the red and black.

Ok, Got it. Thanks. One thing that ive heard tho (after i bought the kit obviously) is that the 55w isnt recommended for the fog light. is there anything i can do to make it work? Or should i try and get the 35w kit for the fogs?


Now one of my headlights isnt coming on at all... It worked fine last night, everything is hooked up right it just wont come on at all now.

i would try to get the 35w HID's cause the 55w may get too hot and melt the housing. as of the headlight, do you have the heavy duty harness?

have we gotten a positive answer on how to fix the HID issue with the driver's side light not turning on when using the daytime running lights. I do not want to diengage the DRLs I like the look. Any anwers?

When the auto lights come on or when i turn the lights on while driving usually the passenger side light won't turn on. So i have to turn the lights off turn the car off open the door..turn the headlights on, and then turn the car on and both lights work. I don't know what causes this, and i think it's complete bs!

You're missing one side of the headlights more-than-likely because the DRL's use half the wattage of the regular lights.

I've disabled my DRL's entirely, but you can make them work with the 'heavy-duty' harness. The wattage doesn't matter, as any voltage will trip the relay an the power comes straight from the battery.
