fog lights!

[worshiprocker]

Ok I'm stumped.... Me and a friend installed some fog lights on my truck tonight only issue is they don't work!!! The instructions say to run a power wire from the (+) battery post to the switch and than a wire from the switch to the lights. we did exactly as the instructions said and they don't work. We DO have power at the bulb but they do not light up. any suggestion????? we tried 6 different lights and 2 brand new bulbs. I'm out of Ideas

Bad ground? How are the lights grounded? Through the housing/mounting stud or by wire?

sounds like your missing a GOOD / QUALITY ground.

you SHOULD be USING A RELAY.

yes you really need to be using a relay. I wire all my lights through relays.
