Default Led Fog Light Bulbs

Hey guys I got my bulbs in and installed the low beams and the fog lights. The low beams are fantastic a difference between night and day. However my fog lights has the out put of a dull candle ?? It`s pretty late so I`m not going to see what happened my question is can they be put in backwards ?? I thought for sure I installed everything correctly well anyway guys thanks for the input.

Can we assume you're installing HID lights?

The bulb replacement is called Auxito they are a direct replacement for the factory foglight bulbs after work today I will go back and double check what I did may be they are backwards or something.

If you placed the bulb forwards into the fog light socket it is installed correctly. I'm not sure you could even install it backwards and get it to seat and lock in to the socket. Perhaps the dealer sent you incorrect bulbs without much wattage?

The Auxitos are mentioned in this post from your other thread.

There is also valuable info on this write-up.
