Soo my fogs were working just fine before all this had happen. I just washed my car right now and the fogs all of a sudden turned on all by themselves while the car was OFF. Now everytime I get in the car and turn on the power, i play around with my switch and itll turn off. Right when I turn off my car and get out, they turn back on again WTFFF?! I cant let them stay on forever while my car is off, itll drain my battery! What do you think happened?!

sounds like you need to check all the wiring for the fogs. Make sure they havnt rubbed the coating on the wires off.

I wouldn't advise doing this as you would have to splice into the stock wiring and that can just create more problems down the road and the circuit isn't designed to run bulbs like that.

The thing is it was perfectly fine before I hosed the car down with water.
start going through and finding where its shorting out at, not much advice can be given

lol k good and I concur with getting OEM, i had the ebay stuff for a bit and it was nothing but problems, since I have gotten OEM for about 2 years and no a single issue
