    I recently installed plug & play LED fog lamps. The ones that plug into the existing socket. They don't come on when i press the fog lamp button, instead the high beams kick on. I've heard of ways to get them to work, any ideas?

    I think it depends on the bulb manufacturer, as my bulbs do not need resistors for the 2002. I have read about this happening and resistors worked. Never experienced this, so not 100%.

    I’d try another brand of bulb.

    Consult your bulb seller. Might be easier to return bulbs and buy ones that do not need resistors. Resistors are messy looking, take up space, and require extra work vs. a plug and play new bulb.
