I did exactly what you said and neither low beams turned on. I didn't use the red wire this time.

I just hope you didn't damage your fuse box by forcing the stripped ends of the wires from the relay along with the fuses...

You probably have bad contacts. You need to crimp female spade connectors like this one to your white and yellow wires:

You need to crimp ring terminals like this one to your black and blue wires:

You need to use fuse-taps like this one and connect them to the female spade connectors from your white and yellow wires:

And lastly, I can't see where you connected the black ground wire. You could connect it to this metal bracket and secure it under that nut:

Same here. Bought both headlights and fog lights in HID 55 watts. They m shorted me the fog light harness so I couldn't even use those. Then after an hour.... yes, 1 hour of use, one of the headlight bulbs burned out. After over a week of ignored emails, I purchased another set of bulbs from Amazon. They came with both headlight and fog light harnesses. So I installed the new headlight bulbs and connected the CorvetteMod fog lights via tha Amazon harness. 1 hour of use later, one of the fog lights burned out! It's been less than 2 weeks since my purchase and already have 2 of the 4 bulbs burned out! So I sent yet another email saying I want to returning my entire order for a full refund. Got a prompt reply with the same "f*ck you" no returns on electonics" policy statement. So I replied immediately with a request for warranty replacement. That was 3 days ago... no reply. So, my $250 order with them has got me nothing but a set of bumper light housings and sh*t bulbs that don't work. NEVER again! They should have their business license revoked!
