Grab a tester and test the slot where u plugged in that brown plug from the fogs make sure its giving out power....if not try picking another slot......also, make sure ur fogs ground is well in contact....try finding a different spot for the ground...i had a similar problem where they wouldn't work and turned out it was a bad ground.

there are only like 3 or 4 slots that look exactly alike under your dash for for yout o plug it into it doesnt matter wich one you plug it into...make sure u have solid bare metal grounds and that its connected to the battery correctly and make sure u didnt damaga a wire during instilation to where its grounding it self out and wont turn on
