Help needed! 07 fog lights
Hello there
I'm installing fog lights on my 07 STI... So I installed the fog lights and the switch since it's an upgrade I don't have the switch there, but the wires are already there, so what happens now is that the switch works and lights up, but the fog lights doesn't!! So I checked all the fuses nothing wrong with them and I checked the harness that goes into the fog lights it has ground but it doesn't have power, so I figured there's unblocked harness so I took the bumper out and followed the harness it's all good until it connects into the main harness!! I'm trying to get it done today since the bumper is out already. If you have any ideas/thoughts will be helpful, thanks in advance

I checked the wires from the switch there're good, but the wires that goes into the foglights has ground but not power, so I followed the harness until it connected to the main harness and couldn't go any farther! the switch is new by the way

ah. and im guessing you check voltage from switch to firewall inside cabin and bulb to firewall inside bay? if youre getting good reading on both either youre not measuring the same wire like u thought or ur car is severely trolling you. lol. if your switch is good and u say ur harness is good up to firewall...im a bit confused....interesting..u SURE you checked all grounds and connections?
