okay guys first of all thanks for reading this cause i have a serious problem

So for you guys that read my other thread i took of my fog lamps and wanted to wire some 55 watt driving lights into the fog light harness.

So i got my bumper off no problems then i got the fog harness and stripped it a little bit and stirpped some of the wires coming from the lights and touched them together and NOTHING now i know the harness works cause im getting 12 volts on it and the stock fogs worked and the lights work cause i tested em with the battery

So any ideas why this wont work?!?!?!?!
What should i do?

 

are you grounding the lights? i had some add on lights that had to be grounded at the mounting points. HTH

 

well im using the stock wiring harness so i think its already grounded

 

HELP!

 

id say try to ground them, i have 3 sets on my jeep and had 2 sets on my last jeep (but never used a factory harness) and all the problems i've had with them were grounding issues.

 

how do i ground them?

 

If you are using the factory wireing then do you have the headlights turned on as the factory fogs only work with the headlights on. The headlights have to be on and set to low beams. Any other mode and the fogs get no power.

 

x2 on what blue said. Also make sure the fuses are good. If it doesnt work you could just get a new wiring harness.

 

blown fuse wired em up and they work great pics will be up in a few mins thanks for all your help

 

here are the pics

















When i took my bumper i found this black round thing and i find it odd anyone know what it is or what it does or where the line coming out of it connects to?

 

Yeah it's your main vacuum reservoir and should have another vacuum line that connects to it..I would relocate it though. Where did you get those new lights and how much did they cost ya?

 

oh okay vacuum that makes since i'll have to get that thing plugged in tomarrow

The lights are Desert fox Blazer driving lights got them from muarrays auto parts for 30 bucks it comes as a set with a harness but no relays the kit is kinda a POS tho i couldnt even figure it out but yeah i think every autoparts store has em and around 30 bucks

 

Yeah they look just like the ones I have from wally world..Although I haven't installed mine yet..I plan not use the factory wiring..I want to be able to turn em on with my high beams when I am out hunting and so forth and it's dark on the back roads and pastures..

 

yeah theres a way to bypass it im currently searching for it on NAXJA if i find anything i'll be sure to tell ya

 

Good deal.I am planning to just wire them up myself with a switch and directly to the battery using relays...Shouldn't be to complex..well I wouldn't think so anyways..Haven't looked into it yet..Next week is fall break so I am going to try and get a few things done like some new rear DS u-joints..
