Is200 Front Foglight Cree Led Bulbs Issue

[mista_khan]

Hi

my front foglights never worked since I bought the car, the driver side was yellow and filled with water so I found a cleaner one local and swapped it over.

I ordered hb4 9006 cree LED bulbs for the is200, ive fitted them both in, when I turn on foglights, the light come on the dash, I hear the relay make a sound but fogs are not lighting up. ive also swapped the bulbs around etc

ive also checked the fuse in the passenger side footwell, the 7.5a fuse is intact.

What else could it be that's stopping the foglights from turning on?

cheers

Try flipping the connection plugs as cree bulbs are like leds and only run one way.

hey @jomo

tried that too, flipped it 180 degrees to check if its the opposite connection, but never worked, could it be the foglight wiring from behind the front bumper is loose or damaged?

Try the bulbs out of the fogs and on a test bench with a 12v power supply to see if they work then test the wires in the bumper to see that they are live?

HTH.

i dont have a test bench to hand buddy, dont know what to do next

the left side has turned on now, but the right side isnt turning on at all,

OK with the fogs on, try swapping the bulbs over to see if its the bulb or the wiring, i'm goona put it down to bad wires or a faulty connector to the fogs.

@jomo

hey bud, ive tried that last week, both bulbs work fine , it defo the one side on the car which isn't working, just not sure if its the connector or the wiring itself as its hard for me to trace the wiring of the fogs

With little or no tools to test or trace a faulty wire your best taking it to an auto elccy and get them to check it out for you. Or if theres another member local to you who can help out, auto ecclys your best bet!
