Icon3 help! eg fog light wire fried up need help!!

so i just installed my fogs on my eg hatch and took it for a drive then about 5 mins later i smelt this burning smell. and i checked it out and it was the plastic that melted by the relay and probly down to the fogs.

the fogs still work but some of the wire are burnt and need to know how that happened and what to do about it. thanks

i bought fog lights from k2 motors and had the same problem. the problem ended up being the wires in the plug on the fog light side being reversed. so what was happening was the housing was being energized. i got k2 to send me a new set and the wires were wrong there also. so i swapped the pins and all is well now for over 6 months with no problems. damn chinese **** parts.

I don't really trust k2 anymore.. lol I had also gotten a spoiler for my eg hatch and that didn't fit properly.. and after hearing about your problems with the fogs... I'm just glad mine were fine.
