Default 99 LS400 Foglight gremlins...

So I just did an HID 6000k 9006 upgrade for my 99 LS400, installed, everything was peachy. However, last night driving... I pull up to a store in front of a window and notice the drivers side fog is not working... I switch off the fogs and then back on and it comes on. I think no big deal. I usually leave them in the 'On' position on the stalk, so when I come back from inside and restart the car I watch that fog. It barely starts to light up and then nothing. The passengers side comes on fine just like the headlights. And the drivers fog will turn on if I flip the switch from On->Off->On but what the heck?!?! I shouldn't have to do that. So I got home and pulled the light and checked the connections and everything seems to be fine. I had to flip the positive and negative pins on the harness for it to match my stock connector, but it's all still together. I mean, anyone have any insight as to what would be the issue if it doesn't light up on startup if it's all ready in the 'On' position, but will turn on if I manually turn the lights on???

Thanks, Grant

you will need to contact the place you bought the hids from and get a harness, the reason the lights do that is because there isnt enough power going to that perticular hid, what i normally do is leave the switch off, turn my car on and then flip the foglight switch.
