DDMtuning HID fogs acting up...

i've had DDMtuning HID fog lights installed for months with no issues.

recently, noticed that they weren't powering on whatsoever.

i haven't had a chance to check everything out yet...lights/ballasts/connections/etc BUT i was wondering if anyone had any ideas/advice for me first. i have no idea why they stopped working, everything was fine for months and one day boom here we are.

maybe a fuse? which fuse?

thanks guys!

did you use a relay harness when you installed them?

If both of them went out, it's probably the fuse, I had the same problem with mine and i went through the wires, connections. EVERYTHING...fuse was last place I checked...should have been the first .

Under the hood, there should be a foglight fuse, maybe 2. I have the 05 TL and i have 1 fuse for both lights.

hmm...no. it was just the HID bulbs and the ballasts, i think. i didn't order a harness...didn't think i needed to.

everything worked fine for months.

get yourself a relay harness. Its possible you fried the wiring somewhere running that much current through it. Its also possible though unlikely that both bulbs or ballasts went bad at the same time...

Hopefully you can get it taken care of. If not hope the CS treats your right, since its a hit and miss with these people.

thanks. yeah i sent them an email so we'll see what happens. i'm thinking it's the relay harness...hopefully i didn't cook anything and the harness will solve the issue.
