Yes, as Cheston said, make SURE that the relay is grounded. When I have installed foglights on my friends three cars, each time we had problems with grounding the relay switch. Make sure that it is a GOOD SOLID connection. Good luck.

hmmmm.... i've installed a couple of these bad boys and 2 of them had this issue. The highs worked and the low's didn't but the relay still clicked. Swapped out the relay and it was fine...
