Fog lights don't work - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I recently bought new fog light bulbs and housings. I plugged them in but they won't turn on. I have a 1995 240sx if that helps.

Thanks

they probably gave you the wrong bulbs, I dont remember the part # off hand but you can tell by looking at the bottom of the bulb if it has one contact point deal thing its wrong if it was two its right... thats most certainly the problem same thing happend to me

Well I went to the store and they looked up what bulbs go with my car. They fit and everything, it's just when I plug in the harness they don't work when I turn the lights on. I have HID's and from what it looks like they are attached to the ballast (i'm not sure), when I took the original ones off the car, the passenger side worked only, not the driver side. So I replaced both of them and now both don't work.
