    You either popped a fuse or burned out the wiring. Even if it did work, you'd probably melt the housings and/or crack the lenses with bulbs like that. They are fog lights anyways, do you need them that often?

        I'd have to go with what you all say and agree that they aren't deemed illegal. It's just the fact that they aren't specced for US standards.

          well the driverside one wasnt working, and the light on my dash that says if they are on or not also was not working. The lenses were cracked anyways. I wasnt even running them for long :roll:
