Fog Lights Help!!!

[project_EM1]

ok so here's ther problem i installed a new set of jdm black housing headlights and amber corner along with my jdm foglights...

so far so good..

follow the wiring instructions that came with the foglights and wired it correct ground and everything. try them out and it worked.

then later on the same day it wasnt working..come to find out the fuse blew.
tried changing the fuse and it still blows.. It was an endless cycle..

keep in mind that these are new out of the box...

what do yall think could be causing the problem and should I takle it to a shop and let someone else do it...

or even better can any one on here fix it for me.:no:

faulty lights .. tkae em back if they are new , they shouldnt blow the fuse .take em back ...

[X-Runner]

Or bad wiring on his part... recheck it all.

[1SOL2NV]

yea make sure u have power to the power wire and ground to the ground .. common mistake even i still do it an going to college for electronics .... double check everything .. if all fails .. return them .,

[project_EM1]

well wire diagram said red wire is power and black is ground...

there are only three different colored wires..

1.red
2.black
3.yellow(kinda figured this would be connect to an acc power wire)

i know i didnt wired it wrong..

keep in mind that they did work when i first installed them..just not now..

should i take it to an electrical specialist to hear their opinion first, or should i just send em back

a buddy of mine bought a package that came with the headlights and foglights just like those off ebay and the fog lights ended up being str8 up garbage! he had the same exact problem and sumthing ended up shorting out in the passenger fog!!! ebay parts ftl!!! not saying u got them from ebay im just suggesting it could be the same set like he received! IMO i love ebay! :ninja:

did he ever get them to work.. if so what did he do to make em work..

and another question the fogs come with a fuse but do you really have to use the fuse or can you just str8 connect the wires without the fuse, or would that casue some problems

[Captain-Obvious™]

when I wired my fogs I just wired 'em straight to the battery and to an autozone switch and they have worked perfect for months with no fuses

tried it and didnt work at first...got a headache so i stoped messing with it..

sat in the room got annoyed at the situation...and im the type the when sumin is wrong i have a hard time just giving up..

so i decided to go back out there at 3:00 a.m. with no light and started to mess with it again.

i got it to work but you wouldnt guess how i got it to work...........:ninja:

i kick the god dam fog lights then they lit up.....lol

any clue as to what that could mean

[**ROACH**]

my harness burn up at the relay

[Atlblkz06]

You kicked them? Wow.

[Mchnhead2k5]

If you kicked them and it worked, chances are they have a wire short somewhere and the wire is touching something that it's not supposed to be. All you did was move the wire away from what it was not supposed to be touching, hence why they work, temporarily.

[G.C]

return it.

Samething I did with my prelude and it worked fine.

[joshk5145]

sounds like a naked wire rubbin against s-thin and grounding it out..... which now that i llok up is basically the same thing mchnhead2k5 said but o well i typed it now

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Cut the red wire and just let it hang loose.

That should do the trick.

[project_EM1]

yea imma seperate all the wires and wrap em on my next day off...

[JDMirza]

Short circuit. Theres a wire touching ground somewhere on any part of the body of the car, and keeps blowing the fuse. Check your wiring.
