I purchased the Rear Foglight Kit #2 from F n' A Automotive. It's supposed to turn on when I turn on my headlights and glow brighter when I brake. I'm not very good with electrical/mechanical work, so I found a place to do the install for me for $100 CAD. After the install, just before handing me back my keys, they noticed a minor problem and was able to fix it within 10 minutes.
As I was driving home, I noticed the EXACT same issue as described above in posts #1 and 2. I contacted F n' A to see if they could send me a new bulb since other members solved the issue by replacing the bulb. They said that it shouldn't be happening because they install diodes in the kit before shipping them out. After they mentioned
diodes, I remember the installer mentioning that they fixed my minor issue by installing a diode. (My minor issue was that my ABS and Traction Control light came on.)
F n' A then says that since the installers put in a diode, the kit's warranty is void and that the only thing they can do is ship them back the kit so they can fix it and ship it back to me. The only problem is that I already mentioned I had no knowledge with installs and that I paid a great deal of money to get someone to do it. I would have to pay the company money to take the kit out, then pay them again to reinstall the new kit.
I'm fairly certain that the issue is with the bulb since other members have fixed the issue by replacing the bulb. So my question is: where did you guys source your bulb from? I want the foglight to match the brightness of the stock lights as closely as possible.
TL;DR: I suspect the bulb that came in the kit that I purchased from F n' A is defective and they aren't willing to replace it. Where should I source a new bulb from?
