    Exactly and I have both the impact and badass compressor just no way to compress the sh*t :jester: oh well. The job is 7/8 done. Truck is still running great. Just gotta find time to swap number 8 out

    quick question, my hid fogs stopped working. could the fog light relays be bad? theres a big relay in the fuse panel inside and theres a relay under the hood for fog lights. either that or the ballasts could be fried, they have a little corrosion around the connections. if they relays are bad i'll replace them. just don't want to order new ballasts if that isn't the problem lol

    clean the corrison first and give that try first. Then seal the connections in grease.

    Odd that both ballasts go out the same time.
    Check to see if 12 volt power is going to the ballasts.
    That will narrow down where the problem is.

    You can bench test a relay real easy too, but I'd check to make sure you're getting the 12v at the lights first before you mess with anything else

    That's strange that both would quit at the same time. Check the fuses and relays for sure. You can swap a ballast from your headlights and see if that works also.

    Joe has the right idea. Unplug the fog light harness and make sure you've got 12v to each side first.

    Use a volt meter to test connection
