Fog Lights won't turn on - 2017 Honda HRV

[Valharth1031]

Good evening po sa lahat. Pahingi po ako ng tulong. I have a 2017 Honda HRV. Yung fog lights ko po parehong biglang ayaw umandar nung isang araw. Pinacheck ko sabi ok daw ung bulbs so pinalitan ng bagong fuse. Umandar na ung lights. Nung gabi na ginamit ko na siya pero mga 20 min lang biglang ayaw na umandar ulit. Ano po kaya ung pwedeng problema? Naka aftermarket po ako na LED H11 pala na nagamit ko naman for 5 months without a problem tapos ganun po nangyari. Thank you po.

it would appear,
your fuse blew.

Ano po kaya ang solution dito? Papalitan po ba ng fuse with a higher amp rating? Kaso safe po ba ito?

ask an expert to look at your set-up, po.
fuse... wiring... housing...

if the (stock, i assume) fuse keeps blowing kasi, your lights are probably drawing more current than what the car's wiring was designed for.
you might have to upgrade everything and not just the fuse.

btw,
i noticed that many car drivers use their bumper lights and not their headlights.
are they aware that sometimes, them bumper lights actually generate more glare than the stock headlights?

I used the lights for 5 months without any problem until the problem occured a few days ago. Is it possible there's a short somewhere? And to your other question, I use both my headlights and foglights when driving at night. If it's well lit I only use my headlights.

was this a do-it-yourself thing, or was it done by someone else?

Switch your stock H11 halogens in. If they work, those LEDs you used aren't worth going back to.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check this but I'll probably have to find an electrician since I'm pretty unfamiliar with electricals.

Simplest answer, go back to stock. If fuse dont blow, led bulbs have a problem.

If fuse blows, go get yourself an electrician.

My money is on defective LED bulbs.

I am assuming the LED bulbs were plug and play and no other electrical wires were spliced? If yes I would suggest going back to regular/stock halogen bulbs and see if the problem goes away. As you mentioned these are fog lights then I do not see any benefit for using LED bulbs, ideally real fog lights are yellow halogen bulbs. This is just my opinion though and I could be wrong as some newer cars might have LED as "driving light/fog lamps".
