    I have got some of the plug and play ones from the batch produced this month. I can test mine out to see if I have the same issues.

    Yep it sucks when shit doesn’t work like it should, but it’s fixable. Just ask them for a New tested harness.

    1/18 production date, with full plug and play H11 adapter. Pulling fogs now to test.

    Edit: just realized OP would have different H10 adapter.

    Well this is shit. They don’t work.

    Excuse my freakishly long fog harness as it was a prototype.

    Fog on, LED hooked to fog circuit not on.

    Other side so you can see it is hooked up but not on.

    I’ll cut the adapter and swap the polarity.

    @Tacohago what is the date stamp on top of your fog? We would have different adapters, so if the polarity is the issue they either messed up building both adapters, or it is misswired right out of the back of the pod.

    Hello,
    Use this picture as reference. This issue happen every once in a while. Toyota for some reason makes the fog light harness different on every truck. So sometimes they are just flipped. If change it like in the picture you should be fine. Let us know if you have any questions.

    DONT cut. Deutsch connectors can be unplugged and wires switched.
    Use a small flat tip screw driver to pry the green cap off. Once the cap is off, you will see one tab on each connector holding it in the housing. Use the screw driver to push the tab away from the connector and pull the wire out the back a little. Do the same on the other connector then pull both wires out the back. The rubber grommet may or may not come off with it. Then just put the wires in the other spot on the housing and push the grommet back in place and put the cap back on.

    Closer look it is pretty obvious why. They are wired backward. Red connects to black.

    Built some connector wires to reverse the polarity.

    same shit as everyone else
    I had a harness that had the 2 positives backward coming out of the relay and when I cut, stripped, swapped, spliced, and soldered them together still nothing. The relay it came with wouldn't even click, so I'm pretty sure that was dead on arrival. I emailed Caliraised and got a new harness in 2 days. Hooked everything up the same and we're in business.

    If this issue is commonly encountered, it may be worth including the printed instructions of what to do in the shipment. It is really simple to fix. Not everyone is aware of the polarity issues with LED, especially in one with pre-made plug and play adapters.

    It just happens every once in a while not to offend. But best route is to always shoot us an email, PM or Call if there is an issue. For instance, I would of never have seen this thread unless the other members didnt @ me.
