Neither. I have the JARblue custom fog light :icon17: It's just a 48 LED panel I installed inside the dummy housing that came stock :tup:

:facepalm:

Have you checked all the (3) fuse boxes to make sure you haven't just popped a fuse with the increased load?

I assume you haven't had any problems with the interior LEDs, and I trust that you will let me know if you do :tup:
Nothing yet but because I don't have them come on, I probably wouldn't notice anything for a while. I'll try to remember.

Yup, I figured I'd start there. :)

Pics are in my album.. link in my signature :tup:

Well, first, I verified the circuit could handle the extra LED panel prior to starting my project months ago. There's plenty of headroom to power some LEDs :tup: Second, I didn't bother to check the fuses because the license plate lights work just fine.

Something isn't working, right? So that's the first place I'd check.

XwChriswX 02-18-2013 12:28 AM
So is that the OEM Foglight blank? Cause mine didn't have a red lens, it had a blackened blank nothing?

It's just the wiring to the LED panel that is inside my fog light housing. Like I said, I should have pulled out the 12V battery to test it just to make sure the panel is still working properly. I just tucked the wiring away since it's no longer connected; luckily, it's easy to get to so I can take a look at it tomorrow after work.

Fair enough. Which light panel did you decide to go with since I see 3 different ones in your pics.

Yup. OEM dummy housing has a red lens that has been smoked on the exterior. When I took it apart, you could clearly see the red lens on the interior. I masked off a Z and spray painted the rest of the interior of lens black with Krylon Fusion.

They were all the same brand (or at least from the same retailer/ebayer - I can't remember where I got them a long time ago). The ones in the pictures are 12, 24, and 48 LED. I ended up just going with the biggest one. You know how we Texans think big :tup: :icon17:

Interesting, I went with the EVO-R one myself and love it. When I took the blank out, I didn't even think to keep/look at it in dept.


Are your LED's and their wiring water proof? Is the blank sealed? That might be something to look at?
