Hello Hello. I just purchased a fog light setup with everything included from one of my friends who has an 02 330i e46. Our cars have the same connection for the fogs and somehow the fog lights on his car work, but not on mine, no matter what we do. Does anyone know what is wrong..Im so confused..Thanks

+1 For some reason on certain models the + and - are switched in the harness of the BMW's. It doesn't make much difference for halogen lighting but HIDs don't like it too much do it ASAP too. prolonged exposure to that can fry the ballast.
