    I did the anytime mod couple weeks ago, and all of a sudden my fogs wot turn on.

    I have no idea how to diagnose the problem, when I turn them on it makes a clicking noise. I just want my HID fogs working... Any suggestions?

    How did you do the mod, there are several write ups and methods on doing this. Also, post pictures of what you did if you can. Did they work at all after you modified them or no?

    yes i re did the connection 2x and nothing. i left the wires open and touched them together and it makes that click sound but no lights, so i know the circuit is complete. is there a fuse that i can change or anything?

    Maybe the HID's took a dive? Could be a fuse issue so I would start with checking those.

    I would look at a faulty ballast especially if the circuit is complete. Those are really common failure items on the headlights when you do them. Hence why I hate HID's.

    X2. I used to have HID's in my fogs but they blinded oncoming traffic and the people I was behind even with them pointed all the way down so I got rid of mine.

    If you have a test light, check for power where the circuit connects to the ballast. That will at least let you know that power is getting through the circuit rather than listening for clicks.

    If you want increased visibility with no glare. You might want to look into getting a LED floodlight. That's what I am looking to get right now.

    Or a power probe to attempt to manually power up the system if you have one.
