ls600 JDM foglights
Hi all, i finally got around to installing the jdm ls600 foglights and having an issue. I used the jdm harness, plugged everything up but the fogs cut on for about 4 seconds and then off. Bulbs are brand new. I read somewhere there may be a polarity issue possibly due to being JDM on an American version. Anyone have any info what could be the issue. If a polarity issue, should i switch the brown plugs around? Also the bulbs are brand new. Thanks.
Update, I figured it out the issue. I accidentally purchased the wrong bulbs (D2S) vs D4S or D4R bulbs. I installed the bulbs which came with the kit and everything works fine. D4R ballast will not work with a D2S bulb.
I still need some help with the bracket, anyone have a picture of how this is to bolt together. The JDM fogs are much heavier than the originals, which is why they come with a bracket.

I have the fog light and waiting on the harness to arrive. I contemplating on getting the brackets . I have seen a japanese blog install them without the brackets .

so the brackets support the light when all pieces together but then where does it attach to? I cant find any brackets for sale and this stuff is heavy it definitely needs support but its so hard to figure out how to make one, because im not making it and i dont know where it is supposed to bolt on to in terms of the car body or frame if i knew that i guess i can just come up with whatever. but someone, give me some ideas pls....

I know I'm a couple years late to the party, but am joining in nonetheless. Any chance you have more pics of these brackets? I'm considered redesigning these in CAD and making my own brackets. I'm happy to share my design here with the community once I get a working model, but any helpful info that can contribute to that would go a long way, that directed at my friends who already have the brackets. If anyone has any for sale, I'd like to buy some - I can make a really accurate model that way and potentially just manufacture my own out of steel at that point.
Lemme know!
