    So I took advantage of the 10% off buy and now getting around to installing them and I have a question. Is it possible to plug in the wires backwards? I turned on the lights and nothing so I grabbed the other fog light and it works when I plug it in.

    If so, is there a way of removing them and resetting?

    I wonder if the little black "clips" need to move to remove? Be back later, time to mess with everything

    I'm thinking I have the positive and negative swapped. The blades are seated just as far as the "good" one. Hopefully it's that they need to be swapped and not a bad light.
    It's getting to dark to finish tonight but I'll continue with the install tomorrow but I'm taking the "bad" light inside to try and get the wires switched.
    Thank you Ron!

    Sounds about right. They are a bit of a pain to get back out, but you will be able to get them out to switch them. Good luck.

    The same thing happened to me when I did the install one worked and one didn't.
    The one that didn't work, I had the positive with negative when I plugged it in, and u can't just turn it around cause there's only one side that locks in when u plugged them together lol. So I had to remove does little metal connectors by moving back does little black clips deep inside and pushing down on does metal connectors and switch them sides, that's all I did and it worked. Good luck hope it works out for you.

    It did work! Got it switched around and I'll do the install tomorrow!

    Another question, does it really only install with 1 screw? It just doesn't fit like factory. Sr5trdtundra how do you like yours?

    I love mine! Brighter than my headlights lol. And yes just one screw, it sucks cause someone can just come along and pop out the fog light disconnect and take it that easy. The stock ones where tighter cause of the connection in the back.

    Excellent news on the output but meh news on fitment. Cannot wait to see the difference! How easy or hard was it to adjust the light line once installed?

    Pretty easy as they just pop out and the slack of the wires give you lots of room to screw in the adjustment, and ofcourse I used the wall in the garage.
    Great lights!
