What color are the wires ? With LEDs the polarity has to right for them to work. Dont know why fog lights need three wires If you can tell which wire is positive & which neg hook some jumper wires from your battery & see if they work

Id agree, sounds more like a turn signal kit rather than a fog light kit to me.

Thanx all ya'll for the info. I've double checked on these lights...they are fog lights and are intigrated to be used with turn signal or flashing lights. I'll test them out before I hook them up. Wires are Red, Black and Green(ground)
