I have a 2016 SRX that I had aftermarket fog lights installed on. For almost a year the fog lights worked fine. But then the drivers side went out and eventually the passenger side went out. I took my SRX back to the shop where I had the fog lights installed and they ran some test and initially it looked as though the fuse was the issue. So, they replaced the fuse. For a couple of days my fog lights worked fine. But, they went out again. So, back to the shop I go. They eventually came up to the conclusion that the ballast needed to be replaced. Which they ordered and later installed. Once again the lights are back to working. Almost a week later the drivers side has gone out. The passenger side is still working. But I suspect it will eventually go out.
So here's what was installed:
10-16 Cadillac SRX OEM Style Fog Lights w/ Universal Switch - Clear (Pair) + HID Xenon Lights Kit Package
At the same time I also the following headlights installed:
09-16 Cadillac SRX Halo LED Projector Headlights(Halogen model only) - Chrome (Pair)
I wanted to have the interior switched replaced with one that had a fog light selection, but the shop guy told me that my SRX didn't come prewired to add fog lights afterwards. So, they connected the fog lights to come on with the headlights.
I know nothing about wiring these lights, power requirements etc. So, I'm at a lost as to what is causing the fog lights to not work. The shop said they probably won't do any additional work on them because I purchased the lights myself online. The headlights are working perfectly and I love the halo lighting that surrounds them. But those fog lights keep giving me trouble.
Can anyone give me in layman terms a reason why the fog lights stop working and what can be done to fix the issue?
