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? 
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.
