He mentioned Hi/Low beams as well. (Only bring that up because I've changed parking lights and fogs, but never messed with my headlights.)

Sorry if i've i missed it but what bulbs are you using in your parking lights and side markers?

Ordered Mine from VVME and installing tonight!

I saw the pics on Page 2, where else did anyone find to mount the ballasts that seem better??

Ok, so I did this mod tonight, I did mess up and it probably took way longer than it should. But After I cut the brown wire, I taped off the wire closest to the relay and then started using the other half of the brown wire to the (first) the black/red wire and my fogs would not turn on. 2nd I used the wire and connected it to the white/red wire and still no fog lights.


I then untaped the brown wire closest to the relay. Since I made a mistake and made the wire to short, I had to come up with a different way to make it work, so I cut the ACC relay (thin white/red wire and connected it to my brown wire and voila it worked, now my fogs turn on intedependently of the headlights and the parking lights which is awesome.

OK Now! I also was installing my HID Fogs from VVME. I got all the way to hooking up the Ballast and they are the 35w Kit. When I turn on my Fogs I hear a sound like its getting power but no lights come on. I plug back in my original fog light bulbs and they work fine. Could this be because I have the Fog Wire connected to the ACC relay and its too much power? If so How can I fix that?



Let me know if I need to explain it better cause I know it seems alot and Im probably not using correct terminology with all this.

So I just got my 194's in last night and got them installed, I did the Foglight re-wire so my fogs come on separately from my other lights also

I also installed my HID fogs from VVME and OMG the right foglight as you can see below is not working correctly.. what could be the cause? I dont think I touched the bulb while installing it but maybe I did.. any help or ideas?

As you #4 photo shows, the fogs have an anti-dazzle shield in front of the bulb.

HID capsules tend to be longer than the OEM halogens, and if the wire touches the metal, can ground out. Pull the capsule and compare it to the length of the stocker....

Globetrahter

So if they grounded out then I would have to by a new bulb.. probably a new ballast since we spliced it with the original harness

Dumb question...I bought the H11 kit from VVME and realized I did not buy the relay harness for the extra $13.99. Do i need the relay harness or not???

peterlemonjello

No, it's not needed unless you upgrade to the 55w kit.
