my factory fogs on one side have been flickering on n off and now neither of them work , i checked all the fuses because i didnt know which one it was and their all good, anyone have any experience with this issue or any thoughts or ideas on how i should proceed? your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Did you recently, or ever, replace the original bulbs?

 

I never changed the original fog bulbs so I have no clue.

 

it sounds like your bulb to me

 

Or a bad ground connection. I'd start with the light that was flickering; and tap into it's ground wire coming off the light's plug. Then attach this additional ground wire to a good ground source at the chassis somewhere nearby. If your lights work OK after this; then the factory ground wire is not making a proper connection. If you're still under warranty; then take it to the dealer and let them sort it out; as there could be additional items that are not being grounded properly. Hope that helps

 

Bulbs bad. It's drawing to many amps. That's the CANBus throwing a code on your lights. Either you've got a ground or you're using the wrong bulb.

 

the guy at my local advance auto parts recommended some tuner brand of aftermarket bulb that was 55w and thanx to reading on this forum i found out that the jk wont accept anything over 45w so i changed the fog bulbs to the standard 45w bulb..thanx for all your input guys...once i figure what im gonna do with my bumper like buy a new one or stubbify the stock one i'll look into figuring out how to upgrade to more powerful lights...
thanx again

 

i changed out my front bumper w/ factory fogs and went with hella ff300 lights and when i turn on my factory fog light s/w the d-side takes a sec or 2 to go on i thought the same thing 2 years ago "bad ground" now reading this i know to s/w bulbs

 

Rogue,

Do a search on here or Google for Daniel Stern. He's pretty much the go to guy in lighting and reading his website was very informative. Lighting is a science and there's a lot of junk products on the market. What really shocked me was his recommendation of using cheaper $22 a set bulbs over the much more expensive and exotic stuff costing upwards of $80.

I know several people on here have purchased his upgraded lighting kits for the JK and have noticed dramatic improvements for a fairly economical cost. Or you could check out the new Northridge kit that's coming up for sale soon.

Just some thoughts.

 

thanx, I'll look into it .....
