I've been freezing my ass off outside installing these new HID fogs and they don't seem to be working. I've tried every connection, I don't know what I could be doing wrong. What may I be missing guys? Did people have any problem with possible fuses? Help.

Hey
Did you make sure you have the polarity correct?

Absolutely positive? ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
Some kits even though the harness fits properly the polarity actually isn't correct. Try swapping the plug that goes from your car to your hid kit.
