The other fog light is working fine, and I checked the fuse panel chart in the trunk and nowhere did it have the foglights listed, much less R and L fog lights. I swear if by trying to install theses damne HIDs I messed up the harness or light module or something Im going to be pissed! No way changing out lights should be this difficult!

found the problem, it was the connector on the car harness. One of the little prongs inside got bent over and was preventing the male end from making contact. Replaced the connector end and its working properly FINALLY! But I do still have one question...my HID blallast have a lead inbetween the ballast and the vechicle connnect that has a inline fuse and some white dome looking thing, I was wondering should I remove this line and run the hid ballast straight to the error cancellor and then to the vehicle connector or keep it how it is now (ballast to lead with inline fuse and dome thing then to error cancellor then to vehicle harness)???

Is the bulb working or the HID is now working? If the HID is now working I say leave it lol...it took you long enough. If not then the way I had it done on my lowbeams was...stock connector>error cable>ballast>bulb.
