    Okay so I just installed Cali raised pod mounts (fog lights) so I can run pods in my fogs. Well before I put everything together I tested it and it didn’t work. So I don’t know where I got it wrong. I ordered 3X2 18W AMBER TCMBST POD
    And to plug them in i ordered 12-17 Fog OME plug and play wire harness. What did I do wrong? When I plugged the harness to the pod it makes the Click sound but when I plug the other end into the OME plug it doesn’t click no matter how much pressure I put. Did I order the wrong adapter? Or what did I do wrong?

    Try switching the wires inside the plug adapter. I had the same issue. Contact @CaliRaisedLed about how to switch the wires in the plug adapter and they’ll send you instructions. It’s easy to do

    I think the polarity is reverse on them, this is true for the headlights, try what Anchovy said.

    BTW, what headlights are they?

    They are okay, I’m rather underwhelmed with their light output and the DRLs

    Just an update. I got one to work!! Still working the other but it’s too dark out so I’ll have to do it tomorrow.

    The headlights are from Tacomabeast but they are really weak, but they look awesome with the pods and the DRLs are pretty awesome with the switch back blinkers.
