Fog lights not working with new bulbs

It seems to say in several previous posts on this thread that you've got to switch the wires round if you have this problem. Have you tried that?

The wire coming of the bulb connects to the earth wire and the earth wire now connects to your bulb.
the earth wire will be connected to the light somewhere.
They haven't been made correctly for a 12+ system.

No idea but it stands a good chance if that is the only loose wire there ;)

The earth wire will already be fixed, via a spade connector i think, to near where the bulb enters the light.

My bad, was fuse 36 I forgot to check this has blown!!

Would you recommend me leave the blown fuse in until I have changed the bulbs over then replace fuse?

So it could it be the bulb/led could be faulty? :(

I did have an issue hooking up the earth terminal to the spade connecter, I had to widen it a little which I think may of caused a short as the connection wernt that great? :confused:

If you have shorted it that's why the fuse blew, so the led might still work?
Use the battery terminals to see if it lights up, chances are you'll have to extend the wire though, no shorting this time ;)
