electrical issue? unichip and left led fog light not playing nice

A few weeks ago my left side LED light went out. After some help from Nick @DiodeDynamics it turns out it was my fuse. I replaced it and thought i was ok, but a week later someone tells me that only one fog light is on. I bought more fuses after depleting my OEM spares, and now they're just blowing out consistently when i turn them on until I disconnect my unichip. oddly enough, the unichip and stock fog light bulbs work ok together. right now i'm gonna keep the unichip and stick with the stock fog lights. but i'm concerned this is could be a precursor to an electrical issue?



cliffs:
unichip + led fog = no good
unichip + stock fog = good
no unichip + led fog = good
no unichip + stock fog = good

That's weird, I haven't had any problems like this with my Unichip. Have you looked over the unichip harness to make sure there are no cuts or breaks in the wiring? Did you use the sealant on the connector that plugs into the unichip?

That is very weird. I imagine the LED foglights don't pull as much current as stock (but you should check) and the Unichip isn't really connected to the foglights (FTA crank, throttle, and intake sensors). From that it seems like something is wrong with the whole system.

But then again, double check all your connections.
