PIAA's randomly stopped working
My PIAAs were working fine last Friday night, but somewhere between driving it home that evening and it being parked for 1.5 weeks they stopped working.
Anyone have any ideas on how to figure out where the problem is? I checked the minifuse next to the battery and the PIAA relay that is part of the wiring harness and they both look fine. I also checked all the wiring under the hood and it all looks like it is in great shape. I use a stock corvette fog lamp switch, and the light is on (implying that the piaas are on).

If the relay looks like a rectangle with wires on both ends.
you have an old type relay that is prone to failure.
I had this problem with my PIAA's after 4years of use.
I emailed PIAA to find out how I could get a replacement ,
and they sent me a newer style relay FREE ...........
How's that for customer service?
If your relay has all the wires on one side it is the new style,
but if the fuse checks good,the relay is your most likley
problem......
Hope you get the problem fixed I know how great the PIAAs
are.....
