View Full Version : no power coming out of the fogs...
325i 2 M3 10-17-2007, 09:14 PM i cut the fog wires a lil away from the plug, blah blah blah. i followed the DIY for the hid's for e36 fogs... but when i turn the fogs on, nothing... i checked the voltage coming out of the wires and theres nothing, there doesnt seem to be a blown fuse i checked. whats goin on? the corners work, low beams work just not the fogs... any suggestions

Be sure ignition is on
Be sure power switch is on
Make sure the indication light is on
boston328i 10-17-2007, 09:55 PM Check your high beam bulbs and fuses.
325i 2 M3 10-17-2007, 10:55 PM yeah thats the other thing the indication light on the dash doesnt light up anymore saying i pushed the fog button in...
and i dont have my high beams installed yet, but i dont think that would be it cuz my fogs have been working with the high beams out..

no high beams = no fogs.

True. ^^^^ Happened to me...
I was flipping out...threw the high beam bulbs back in and BAM! fog lights are back. Look at your dashboard, you dont have a little green FOG dash light either...
AngelEye328i 10-18-2007, 11:08 AM Check your installation.. I think you forgot to connect the ground wire..

Or you have a short. Are you sure everything is shrinkwrapped completely?

Do you mean heat shrinked ? Shrink wrapped is what we use on boats for storage...
325i 2 M3 10-18-2007, 02:40 PM well there is no fog light coming on on the dash. like saying the button is on. i tested the bare wires coming strait from the oem fog wires and theres no voltage. i guess no highbeams = no fogs but the fogs were working with the high beams out. and the hid kid doesnt come with a ground so idk...

the fogs will not work without the high beams no matter what, you have a step by step write up you were linked to sevral times, read it, understand it and look at the pictures, its a simple plug n plat install, if you cant get it to work have someone do it for you, it should take a complete noob an hour or less per side especially with the type of diy guide we have here.
AngelEye328i 10-18-2007, 03:39 PM Pretty soon this customer going to go on the forum and say"prolumen suck this and that" or "its hard to install, etc.." For real like Ouri says, FOLLOW the link he provided, READ AND RE-READ again going step by step and you shouldn't have any problems...
CLEANM3whipz 10-18-2007, 04:55 PM Put bulbs in the highbeams, it'l work.
