    I purchased Baja squadron sport fog lights and installed them via YouTube video. The installation was very easy and worked for one day. Now both of them do not work. Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions? I tried changing fuses and increasing to 15 and even 30 but didn't work.

    Have you checked all your wiring? Sounds like something came loose. Bad ground?

    Reverse the plug. LED lights only work one way. Unlike filament bulbs you can't reverse the power and ground to them.

    Edit:

    I see they worked one day and didn't the next. Disregard the statement above. You probably got lights that didn't have the right value resistance resistors installed into them or they just didn't put them in at all. Made in China. Take them back and tell Baja Designs they can eat it.

    I replaced the stock fog lights and just plugged the Baja's where the stock lights were. I'll check to see if any of the wiring came lose on the connections.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but when you’re turning your fog lights on do you also have your highlights turned on? If not that’s your issue.
