    Hey, first of all thanks for the video. I have a Charger built in 21. The problem with mine is that the fog lights come on for 1 second and then immediately go off again. In the cockpit the display is on. Could this be the same problem here? Just swap the cables? Thanks for your help

    • @AVGJoesGarage
      @AVGJoesGarage  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @DJIROQ1 easiest was to find out is to run a couple jumper wires from the plug to the light. Then you can reverse them quickly and see if it works. That is how I found my issue. Once I knew what it was then I re pinned the connector for the permanent fix.
      Not 100% sure if this is the same issue, but its worth testing out.

      @@ethancoffman8160 watched the video and that is really weird. Do you have a multimeter? If so what is the voltage at the plug? Still have stock rt fogs? Could flip the plug back and see if they work. I can't remember is these are 5 volt or 12 volt lights, but if they are 12 could try running one right off the battery and see if it stays lit. The lights are controlled by computer so if both stock and those lights don't work it could be the module.

      The choice is yours. I know none of the aftermarket rear bumpers come with the one filler panel that's need to make the bottom tight. I'm not sure what the front bumper kits might be lacking, but if they lack anything, you can look at my videos and see what parts you might need.
      I hope that helps you out.
