Default fog lights not workin right

ive a 92 eg Ive oem style aftermarket fogs on it. I used the harness i got with them and hooked them up like ur supposed to, been workin great for a week now!!! well all of the sudden they are not workin right. when i cut on the head lights(low beam) and the swith for the fogs is on the fogs do not work!!!! but when i cut the the head lights off completely and the fog light switch is on the fog lights turn on. fuses are fine wiring is good. IM CONFUSED!!!!!!!!! oh and get this my horn quit workin after i hooked all this up last week and now that the lights are messin up my horn is workin again but it sounds funny

you might have a short somewhere. i had i bit of the same problem. the brown/ or yellow wire you have that goes to the switch you might want to check at the fuse box.

thats your problem. Had you hooked them up the way your supposed to, they would work.

If you really checked it you would have found a problem already.

so go check it.

Are you serious!!!??? I really wish you lived close by so I could show you how much of a dumbass you really are!!! What part did you not catch "they worked fine for a week the relay got wet and fried, so i replaced and now it keeps blowin fuses"!!!


Anyway I have rechecked the harness and rehooked everything back up they worked fine till I started the car and turned them on the fuse again.

check if any wires are exposed where it ate through the insulation. if any wires are exposed then you will be blowing fuses.

I think he's on the right track. You probably have bad wirings from inside the insulation. I have the same problem too, but mine is off completely. I thinking mine have bad wires, due to the fact that I checked through everything and couldn't fine a solution to it.

I hope that help in one way or another.

are your wires wrapped in a thicker insulator, not the wiring insulater but another to keep them together? what happened with mines is that i had a ground problem at first, then the wires heated up and they melted together inside the insulation causing a major burnout.
