Fog lights burned out by HID kit?

I've noticed my fog lights have stopped working. I have an aftermarket HID kit as my headlights, and aftermarket 'yellow' bulbs as fogs... I had em in for at least a couple months (all working) before I noticed this. I've got to check if the bulbs burned, but I doubt they did so soon, and both at the same time - I suspect the HID kit? Is it likely I burned a relay somewhere?

Cheers,
Ian

your hid kit is probaly not related. your yelllow fog lights both probaly burnt out at the same time due to it being cheaply made. that would be the best guess.

easy way to test it replace the fog light bulb and if that won't fix it then there is something. if you have a volt meter check if there is voltage going to the fogs.

Mine usually burn out every half a year. Same bulbs, Nokya. I buy 2 packs every time so I always have a replacement.
