measure the voltage to the fog lights, and check for good ground. My bet is on a bad ground. Jim

If the problem is not with the wires, the light itself may be faulty. Maybe if you exchange it, they might work beter. Sometimes new stuff doesn't always work perfectly.

Were they hooked up in series or they draw power from the the battery directly?
