Spyder fog light install help
 
Bought the new Spyder fogs and am having a small issue getting them to work. Everything is in place, the fog light button on the interior is illuminated (used an 'add-a-circuit @ the DRL fuse) and I can hear the relay picking up, so I know I'm good at least out that far, but the lights are not coming on. I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like power is not getting to your fogs from the relay. That or bad grounds at the lights, but the likelihood of both grounds being bad is not likely.

had this issue today. the connections from the harness to the bulbs is kinda crappy. make sure those are seated well. in fact, i ended up breaking one of my bulbs and need to get a new one. also, one of the pins on each bulb got bent up a little the first time i tried installing them

This is getting frustrating. I've tried the chasis grounds to the right of the fuse box and the one next to the battery, relay is still picking up when I hit the fog button, but still no go on the lights.

Thanks @wrmathis, I'll look at the harness connections next, if that doesn't do it I'm returning the kit, so much for plug-and-play.

I'm willing to bet its at the bulb connection.
