Have you any of you ever experienced flickering upon turning on the fogs? Or hear a buzzing noise from the ballast? If so I highly suggest you install a relay to draw power directly from the battery and to ground the ballast directly to the chassis. I've had that setup for a while now, and it took care of all my occasional HID fog problems. But I've noticed most people just install it per factory wiring, which is OK since no one has posted fried wiring yet, but for safety and a peace of mind, I really recommend this mod. It only costs about $20 in parts and wires and is very easy to do, the benefits far outweigh the work involved.

 

I have had those exact symptoms before. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably wait until spring to do that though.

 

hmm interested.... did u ever notice the one wouldn't turn on until after a while? i have mine wired to the stock wiring and once in a while i notice that only one light is on and then i turn them off and on again and both are on.... might have to do ur mod next spring as well

 

only problem i had with my HID fogs was that i would blow fuses. They both light up everytime.

 

and hear i was thinkin my hid kit was just crap...lol...

 

Oh and my relay setup is linked in the I35 forum, look for the DIY guide.

 

Man I love my XenonDepot kit.....wiring harness came with fuses and relays!!

 

How big was the fuse? 10A?

 

I don't remember. I would have to check the fuses again.

 

I'm having the same problem. My drivers side fog will not turn. If I shut them off and turn them back on they both work fine.

 

good idea... can you make a write up?

 

Read my post above.

 

same problem, some times i have to turn them off and on afew times to get them both to work. but mine really seems to depend on the temp outside. they dont seem to like the cold.

...and to think i thought i was the only one. anyone figure out why this happens? i dont think it has anything to do with power, but i could be wrong. nice write up n3985!!!!!!!!!

 

Corrections made to above guide so directions are a bit more clear. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

 

I am glad I found this...I have been having the same problems and thought that it was just another issue with my lighting! Thanks for the thread and the link! I now have a new weekend project!
