Any ideas on this? The wire connections are good because I’ve redone today thinking that was the problem. Still not working though, the left one is the culprit (sitting in the car) the bulb also is still all together and hasn’t been turn on since I bought it

On my 5th gen JDM fogs, the connections were quite unsatisfactory.

Firstly where the bulb meets the housing, I had to use a dremel to clean up the seat where the bulb sat. It flat out refused to conduct.

Secondly, the earth terminal was bad in the same way. Had the clean up both with a dremel (under the screw).

Also, my bulb retainer clip wasn't very secure. Check it before fitting the fogs because it's a pain to check them afterwards, mine kept popping off. I suspect a little filing would make the recess/grove more secure.
