Default HID for low beam and fogs light

I bought 6000K H11 for low beam at Xenondepot and I installed HID eight month ago. Recently I realized that my fogs light doesn't work, so I went to dealer today. They said to me that my fogs light is NOT UNDER WRRANTY since I installed HID aftermarket. I thought that the HID kit just plugs into the factory headlight harness, there are no connection that had to be made.

Anyone know any relationship between HID for low beam and fogs light????

They are BS! I don't know the warranty policy but what if we just change the bulb! You should talk to the dealer they just wanna to make money out of it! If I were you I will fight for it! It is my right to have something fix during the wrranty period!

I had the same problem just about a month ago! Maybe you could check the fuse frist! Check the fuse box which is under the engine cover and you will fix it in no time!

Good luck!

Here is what I going to do in order to help you, I am at work when I go home in about an hour or two I will pop my hood and take the picture to show you where is the fuse then you will really fix it in no time!

Wait and see...

Or if you don't wanna do it yourself, just change the bulb and take it back to the dealership : )

Thanks. Since I asked them to fix fogs light and rattles today, they said it must be overnight service (Take a lot of time to fix rattles). So, my car is in the dear now. They just called me around 5:00PM today and asked me for the permission to look at fogs light. The service advisor said that it may or may not under warranty. Like you said, it may be simple problem (I hope) and hopefully, they just fix it under the warranty.

I think that he will call me tomorrow morning and let me know what happen...also I will update this situation.

Just in case, please post pictures for me. Thanks.

When I turn fog light on, it doesn't on. (I am not sure about fog light indicator-I think I never saw it).

Just take it out and see if the fuse broken or not... if so just replace it... if not then you will have to find out what wrong with the fog light then... Good luck!

Thanks for your help. ISbb. The dealer just called me that there is disconnection on the wires so that they will make the connection and they will charge one hour labor for fogs light. But they are still working on Rattle problems so that my car is needed to be overnight service tonight again.

Thanks ISbb. I picked my car yesterday from the dealer. Now, fog light is working properly. When you turn on light, then rear side marker light turn also on???? Now, I don't see any light from the rear side marker light???
If you know which one I have to check, please let me know that.
