sounds like u are burning up the switch. u need to run a relay. the 12v from batt. into relay and out to what u need power to. then a gound wire from relay and the a wire from an acc. to the switch then to the relay. then i would work when ever the switch was on and wont over heat the switch.

Is there a fuse holder anywhere in the foglight wiring? If there is, check the fuse.

OEM foglights don't hook directly up to the battery. I have EG6 foglights and the wires plugged up to the fusebox, where the foglights gets power from.

Here you go.. my write up should help you. For the Signal wire connect that to the spot under the dash and your foglights will work just fine.

Pin 30--- goes to battery
Pin 87--- should split to + terminal on foglights.
pin 85--- Ground
Pin 86--- to interior to the fuse box


My fogs are getting HID's in them tonight...
