Ok well i got my new slim ddm hid kit in the small as well as my 9006 3k yellow bulbs...

soo i moved my old bulky hid kit to bottom to use for my fogs and used the new ddm 6k hid kit for my low beams.

I took out the old h7 bulb from the old kit and but it on the 9006 3k kit.

The ddm worked great for the low beams but when i connected the HID kit for the fog lights using the battery harness that was included in the new kit and turned on the fogs it didnt work. I checked the fuse in the engine compartment and it was blown... soo to test it out i moved the horn fuse to the fog fuse and that also got blown... im about to head out to buy some more fuses... anyone know whats wrong?


Oh when i was connecting 1 HID fog... it worked but when i connected the 2nd one it blew the fuse.

crappy aftermarket ballast. use a relay for the ballast off the battery and the stock fog switch as the switching signal.

if a little lightbulb didnt just go off for you in your mind, DONT try this on your own

removing fuses is a bad, bad idea. They are there for when something goes wrong, which in your case , something is going wrong.

when a fuse blows, whatever you were running off it is drawing too much current.

try running a 25amp Fuse, your kit takes about 20 amps of power you will need to check wiring before doing this to check if there is no exposed or damaged wiring.

P.S.: If You Are Not Sure Go To a Local BestBuy They Will Be able to find the problem.
