fog light issue

[psycobone]

i just installed some oem fog light . but 1 is stronger then the other...both bulb are brand new...

any suggestion?

polish up both of them, also i heard that they are supposed to be like that normally. were they new or used? junkyard item?

Check the wiring with a multimeter. Look for a voltage drop on the dimmer light.

there brand new..anyways that problem doesn't matter cuz i have a bigger 1.

just today i was driving.. the fog was working perfectly(it's just been 2 days that i installed them)suddenly the fog went off and when press on the fog switch the light of the switch come on but the fog light doesn't.

any 1 had this problem or know what is it?

I notice that you stated that its new bulbs..but you can always check..
same problem i had when i first got mine..with new bulbs and work great ..

depot..i bought it from procartpart.

ok i remember when we installee the depot fogs on gemini's car, they had problems staying on. it was the plug that goes in the fuse box, it didn't fit right and kept popping out. so take a look at it

i was checking the wiring and the fuse today...when i took out the fuse it was burned.so puted another 1. as soon as i press on the fog light switch i hear a click and the fuse burns.i tired that several of time..i burned around like 4 fuses.after i tired to put a 30 volt fuse(i dun know what is called)..that to burned... i am pretty sure it's a short circuit somewhere... i just got installed a auto-starter and it's somehow effecting the fog light. but i dun know from where.

my old cb used to do that...instead of doing hard stuff..
i just put a bigger volt fuse...work fine..not a thing happen ever since..

There's a reason the manufacturer uses a specific amperage of fuse for a specific accessory. It's to prevent an electrical fire in the event of a short. Find the short, fix it and replace the fuse.

Its rated in accordance to the wiresize so that if there is a short the fusible link is smaller than the wire so the link burns off before any damage is done to the wires.

BTW CB7 Accord, Fuses go buy amps, not volts. You could put 1000V thru a 10A fuse as long as the amperage was below 10A

OH my bad.....i'm just saying what the guy said......

Every fuse is rated by amps. A fuse is rated for how much current it will flow before burning up. Voltage is simply a rating of how large of a gap the electricity will jump. You could play with a spark plug tester with your bare hands if you'd like. 60,000 volts will do pretty much nothing to you as long as the current is only a few milliamps. Anything over a quarter amp can kill you if it hits you in the right spot. Hell, the Lithium Hot Shot stun gun puts out 975,000 volts but you could move around without any ill effects a couple of seconds after getting hit with it.
