Hi guys,

I have a bit of a problem, i have hid's on my vrd fogs and today suddenly both of my hid will not go on.

I understand that they can mess up ballast etc, but is it not weird for both of them to suddenly go bad at the same time?

Is there a fuse i should check out if so which. I have my fogs wired so they are n with parking lights and parking lights still work.

Any help would be appreciated

 

Check your fuses

 

which would you say because i look at the back panel of the fuses and i dont rly see one related to the fogs

which fuse should i be looking for

 

Not sure for the fogs..check our owners manual since the vrd uses the stock harness...otherwise just get a test light and start poking around.

 

are you rubbing any sort of relay for the hids because the relay prob is bad

 

check the fuses under the steering wheel

 

Ill do my best, i didnt get the car with onwers manual. Ive searched but couldnt find something solid to check fuses.

If anyone knows something that could cause this lemme know, again its very weird for both to zonk out.

p.s. sorry if im asking allot but i searched allot before asking. Could find a solution, except for checking with istruments like the other tc member said( which i dont know how to do) theres must be a explanantion

 

Well of both just suddenly go out like that it's mos likely either:

Ground, fuse, relay or something came unplugged or damaged on the power side.

 

by relay you mean the one that came with the fogs for the oem harnass?

because i still can hear it click when i "switch on" the fogs

 

Ok then try checking your ground.

 

hmmm checked ground they sem to be fine

going to a shop to see what it could be...thought maybe fried cables or something but they look fine.

the vrd wiring did come with a relay maybe its busted.
how do you tell a relay has died?

bah....i dunno anymore. I had a guy come over and tested the hids, they where fine.

I hear the switch clicking but when they tested the wire going to the ballast it wasnt getting any juice....any ideas? and can a rekay be busted and still switch?

 

did you check the fuse that was providing power to the HID ballasts?

there's a fuse labeled FOG you know..

 

OMG please say your joking, please excuse me but is it the fuse in the interior of the car where the switch is???.....because for the life of me i cant find the one labeled fog. Explain to me where it is exactly please, sry to be a bother. Im not trying to come of lazy but i dam near dissasembled everything im still messing around with it as we speak

if its just a fuse ill stab myself with a spork........ i honestly see non labeled fuse

 

it's labeled "FR FOG"

here's a 2005 owner's manual... location should be the same if not close by depending on what year your car is

......well its time to head to kfc to buy some mash...gonna need that spork.

omg tnx heart....i neverrr knew there where those fuses under the dash...i was like no way. the car is second hand and i never had the manual. you were a great help....time to assemble again . something sooooo small omg.

 

i would advise you to use a relay harness for that HID setup, otherwise there is a possibility that fuse may blow again.

also note: never install a fuse that is rated higher than the one that is supposed to go there.

 

thank you very much, its the vrd fogs so it comes with relay. Will skip to toyota in the morrow

 

Hi me again,

I know you told me not to put a higher rated fuse, but the 15A keeps burning out after a while lets say a day max. Should i risk a 20A fuse or just keep trying 15A?

 

don't use a 20A fuse. install relay, and install 15A
