    Fog light swap problems

    So I am trying to swap over my fogs from these weird looking older fog lights that do not fit the valance..



    To these cheap yellow ones I bought:



    I bought the correct connectors to fit the new lights and i was just assuming that i could splice the two wires going into the old fogs to the connectors going into the new ones. I tried touching the wires to the connector and Fog light but it did not turn on. Any Ideas? Thanks

            Yes there is wire missing. There should be a wire from the bulb to the female plug on the left. The wire is part of the bulb, and it is a H3 bulb.

                I bought those same ones off ebay. They are absolute dog shit. The connecters aren't even close. Email the seller, they should give you a refund. You can find a decent set of use OE fogs and get some yellow Lamin-x and they will actually work.
