pm me and i can explain it to you but H4's wont work in your foglights. H4 is for your headlights. your fogs are H11.

one goes to the hot side of your factory harness and the other goes to the ground side. best thing to do is pull the factory bulb and use a test light and switch fogs on to find which is power and ground.

i am having the same problem. i got my h4 kit on in less than 30 minutes. i know how the system is supposed to be wired but the metal spades dont fit into my factory harness. is there something that im not doing right? are the spades supposed to just slide in? because the ones supplied with my kit are about twice the size of the sockts on the factory harness.

they should just slide in, check to see if any of the slots are different sizes, i just tried different slots until they worked. its not going to hurt anything if you hook them up backwards they just wont work.

i actually figured it out last night after work. the spades were to big to slide into the stock harness so i filed them down so they would fit. it took me like ten minutes doing it with a little nail file i found in my garage. but i got them hooked up and running.
