    so I was super excited to get my Baja amber digs and tundra install kit today in the mail.

    I went to install them and they won’t turn on.

    I used the plug and play harness they supply with the kit and no dice.

    I double and triple checked the plugs and no luck. I mean it seems fool proof but nothing.

    I plug the old fog back in and it works. I’m stumped.

    Have you tested the new lights with a jumper wire straight to the battery to make sure they work?

    I assume these are LED?
    If so you might have the Positive and Neg mixed up.

    Try switching them and see if that works.

    I have pushed all pins in straight over and over again.

    I need to find my jumper test leads to hit them straight to the battery

    Report back

    Normally it’s the wires that is leading out from the fogs.

    well damn, that was it. reverse polarity for LED fogs.

    The plug and play harness and instructions did not mention anything about reversing the polarity. So i matched black to black.

    I swapped the pins and it worked. thanks everyone for the fast and easy fix!

    Glad to hear they are working. Are those the new SAE fogs? If so post up some output pictures

    yes they are. I got one side in and gave up when I couldn't get them to turn on.

    Now that the wiring is fixed I will install the other side tomorrow and aim them and throw up some pics
