    My fog lights stopped working. I had HIDS but it got cold as shit one day and they stopped working. I bought new ones and they still don’t turn on. I have checked and replaced the fuse under the hood. Any suggestion helps

    Indeed. I’m an idiot, you said it in first post. :facepalm:

    Did you check the wiring harness? Or did you add a relay for the HIDS? my undertakings is HIDS draw a lot of juice on start up and can fry your stock wiring harness.

    Tied several boat anchors to my truck to destroy MPG.
    Turn on the lights and check that you’re getting voltage to the lamp

    HIDs with no relay? Ouch. No experience with Tacoma as i just got mine yesterday, but my understanding is that a relay is always needed.

    If fuse is fine, then verify juice to pin 3 of relay socket, then pin 1. (remove relay)
