It's driving me crazy... about a month ago my fog went out and today I pulled off the grill etc on my KK to fix it. Thought it was just a bulb that died. SO i ordered new bulbs and went ot swap it today, and nope the bulb was still out. So what's next?... hmm it must be the ballast, so i switch the ballast and use the one that the headlight is using, and put the headlight on the one the fog was originally on. the headlight works the fog still doesnt???... what's going on here... so i try swapping the inverters. thats a no go either. So i think, maybe i got a bad batch of new bulbs... pull apart the oter side and plug in one of the new bulbs on the other side fog and it works.... now i'm going a lil nuts... i swap parts form each side and still no go on hte passenger side fog. So now i think its not an issue with the HID at all, its gotta be the stock harness. i go grab my multimeter fire up the fogs and put it to the test... bingo 12V. NOW I'M MAD.... what the heck is goin on.... so now i go and grab one of my old silverstars... thing lit up before i even got in completely in the socket.....



any one got an idea what is goin on or how i could fix it?

i know this is a double post and was also posted in electronics but i need more eyes to see this

Hi... i have the same problem with a 35w 6000k HID in the fog lights running for a year+, i thought, if i switch the bulb and ballast to an 75w HID, maybe will turn on again, because the lack of watts in compare to the original bulb... but didn't work at all :?... Did you find the way to solve this problem?
