HID foglight help?

Whats up guys, I just got some 3000k HID fogs for my TL, I have read that you should replace the stock fuse with a 20 amp fuse? I have checked underneath where my fuses are but i cannot find which one is for the fogs.

Is the fog light fuse located else where?, or is it just a general headlight fuse?

Please help!

You shouldn't need to replace the fuse. Just get and aftermarket wire harness and you should be fine with just that.

Excellent!..got em to work. had to do the 20 amp fuse thing. the 10 amp blew as soon as i fired her up. and my HID's came with a wire harness. its a pretty legit set, they look sick. Except my fogs turn off when i turn my brights on.

Is there a way around that...?

Throw that harness in, Just running a larger fuse is a good way to burn up your electrical system.
