Alright guy's i have tried everything with these fog light's. I have tried even wiring the power wire to them into a fuse open or into a fuse but i still only get the l.e.d.'s that are in the fog light's to work since they are to seperate buttons for each. When i go to press the button for the fog light's they won't work i know they work because i check them they are getting power , also checked the fuse for the fog light's that's not blown. Im lost guy's any suggestion's please help out winter is getting to become worse here in Mi so i need these fog light's.

ok go to radioshack and get a 12v 3 pole switch they should be +12v acc and -gnd take a wire from the batterys positive post to the switchs 12v then takee a wire from the acc to both of the positive wires for the lights then ground the - wires from the lights to the frame and same with -gnd pole on the switch

this is what i did when i added some leds in my car

But the only problem is it has it's own switch 2 buttons on it one to change the color's of the l.e.d.'s and then the one just for the fog's. so if i ran a switch to it couldn't use the l.e.d.'s. so idk??

I'm assuming that you have the switch wired up. Given that, with the switch in the 'on' position, see if you have voltage coming out of the switched side. If you do the switch is good.

Assuming the switch is good, check for voltage after the fuse. If you have voltage after the fuse, the fuse is good.

Next, check for voltage at the positive terminal of the fog light. If you have voltage there, your power circuit is good.. To check the bulb, remove bulb and check the bulb for continuity. You can do this by placing the red lead on the center pin of the bulb and blk lead on the cylindrical barrel of the bulb.

That's a pretty good place to start troubleshooting your fog lights. After you've done this, let us know.

Alright i can tell you the thing's i have checked already.

1.) i've checked the fuse already the fuse is good.

2.) i checked the positive terminal getting voltage there.

3.) also checked the bulb already , bulb is good and already checked the ground even tried grounding to diffrent places.

so pretty much everything that you said i have done sry i should of said this before. but when i push the fog light switch to go as if i were to turn them on i here the click sound for when i do it on and off so i know that is working also.

Did you do everything, exactly as I specified? Doesn't sound like it.

If these are HIDs they require a Transformer.

idk if they are HID's or not they have a relay on them a fuse and the switch.
