Default 2013 OEM FOG HID upgrade problem

Hey all, I searched to no avail...

I just installed a good quality 35w H10 HID 3000k conversion kit for my OEM fog.

They are plug n play means 12v OEM harness to ballast IN and HID bulb to ballast.

Driver side lid fine to full power but passenger started lid to ½ power and shut down after for the first time.

Now, passenger just doesn't lid at all after 2 retry... Any tought ?

The 35W HID kit should take LESS power than the OEM 55w bulb right ?!?


Do I need a 12v relay from battery to power the 2 ballasts ?

And If so, do I ignite the relay with driver or passenger side OEM source ? Or maybe I need 2 relay both ignited from each OEM fog harness ?

I had the same kit PnP on my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee without any problems for 4 years

Ok found out the problem, it was only a burn bulb!!! Kinda surprising for brand new bulb... but I bought them 1 year ago and they stayed in a storage box in my bed all that time.

So anyway, I found out 2 new bulbs that works like a charm, pictures to come!
