ok it could be the bulbs are bad a short in the wire or the connection behind the lights or the switch in the car when bad.

check all connections, check the fuse, etc...if you dont find anything, try replacing the bulbs...if that doesnt do it...find someone with a multimeter and start testing wires and find your problem...

How big are stock 03+ fog lights?

Please say 2 1/2 because I bought fog lights from Walmart and they better fit...

Well, I have an SRT bumper...let's see how these fogs fit. I wonder if they're even worth taking off my deletes for. I have my deletes on with some pretty good glue. Damnittt....

thanks kalvera

no problem. I think the SRT and the SXT fogs are the same :/ good luck with that BTW use silicon next time, sticks good but comes off easy when needed

I didn't use silicone, but very similar. It's like black silicone...very stick, very messy and very hard to take off. I'll probably use 3m tape if I decide to not go with the fogs....

Are there any way to "aim" fogs? Because I tried a bit...couldn't really get them to do it that well. They're still pretty high up. Damn they are SUPER bright bulbs...I hope I don't get a ticket!

aye....pretty much as headlights...measure distance from ground to the center of the foglight, go out 25ft, mark a line, aim foglights just below that mark...

always wanna keep lights parallel to the ground, or slightly down

This was a universal kit, so i'm going to have to find a better mounting system than zip ties. HAH.

Where the hell is the firewall? I need to run the relay wires through there...cant' seem to find it.

I know where it is, i'm just looking for that opening to run it through...

BTW does anyone know anything about how the SRT surrounds work? My fog lights are pretty much the same size as stock SRT/SXT fogs, so i'm pretty sure they'll work. Other than tinting them, I want to get the surrounds...think they'll fit?
