    Well lastnight the fog lights went out. So I look at the fuses and the fog light fuse is blown. So I replace it with another and it blows too. So I figure I got a short. So I look at the hid wireing harnes and they look fine. So I am going to get more fuses and unplug everything and start hooking it back up one at a time and see what happons. Damn I hate electrical.

    If you accidentally touched the bulb it will burn out. I had a couple of them do that to me.

    Well they worked and I have had them in for over a year. And haven't messed with them. They worked lastnight turned the truck off. 10mins later turned it on and both fogs were out. I'm trying it one by one now.

    Ok so I have narrowed it down to one of the wireing harnesses that go from the ballast to the factory harnes. Going to try n get another one tomorrow and see if that does it.
