Default The bulb not working in JDM frontend yellow fog. Bulb is fine, fuse?

I was driving in the night with yellow fog on. I went to get zip tie at home depot, I zip ties the hid ballast wire securely. I turn on the hid and yellow fog. I notice the driver side yellow fog is out. I check the bulb, it look fine. Could it be a fuse or did I zip tie the wire too tight? The wires that I zip tie is all tight together to protect away from timing belt. Somehow, the driver side yellow is not on but right side fog is working good. Anyone know?

edited: ps, I forgot to add this, the yellow fog is connect to ground wire, where doe that fuse locate to ground wire? Thank everyone for reading and I know this is long to read, sorry. me

Check the wiring to see if you frayed the attachment of the wire to the base of the bulb socket.

Oh man, I think I zip tie the wires too close and the wire was fold and bent together too tight. It could be frayed and I ran out of zip ties. I put about 4 little zip ties to put wires together away from getting too close to timing belt.

Look like I got to go to home depot and get more zip ties.

Just for argument's sake, try switching bulbs with the one that is currently still working. The bulb may look fine, but it can't hurt to switch it. Also, remember not to touch the glass portion of the bulb and to clean it with alcohol if you do.

Me, After standing outside for 2 hours figuring what the fugg went wrong. The wires snap thing was loosen and the plug in female to male connect slot was disconnect. I connected the wire, snapped the "snap thing" that hold two wires together. Yellow fog camed on. Haha, Now I love you guys!! Thank everybodys, I always visit this Integra Type R forum. Now it make me want to swap b18c5 and be part of this forum! Doug is so Gay
