Hi ! I need u guys help. I can't figure it out what's the problem.

Here's the case : I just installed the fog light a week ago. everything went ok. I could turn them on without problems. But since the second day the relay that comes with the kit doesn't stop blowing the fuse. I have already replace the fuse a couple of times but that doesn't work. I have tried plugging the positive wire in the (small box on top of the battery on the most right wire) (I dont't know how u call it) that doesn't work either! any glue ? please thanks...

any help would be appreciated.

Hey,
The fuse in your relay is 15amps. I ended up bumping the fuse up to 30amps. Also, both of tapped wires are grounded on negative connector.
Fuse#36 in your fuse box is for the fog. You need that to be replaced to 30amps if you bridged the Hella DE fog wire into OEM fog wire.
Shoot me a message if you have anyother question.

Thanks guys ! I just solved the fog light problem. There were some small pieces of metal in the fog light that was shorting out the fuse. i haven't thought of cleaning the fog when i screw them on the grill. Those metal must come from when i put the screws. After i opened the fog housing, i remove the metals and put some electrical tape aroung the plastic tube. Everything is ok now. Thanks for your replys. My car looks much better with DE fogs

http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif but i still find that the light output (headunit and fog) is not that great. Maybe i'm asking too much.

oh well probably i'll get some e-code...
