HID Problem

Installed HID kit and now my foglights wont turn on...is this a common issue? Havnt really felt like looking into the problem since the HID kit works fine...just figure i would ask before i pulled out the volt meter and started figuring out why...the kit was plug and play so im wondering if other plug and play kits had the same problem

How do you install the HIDs? For me, I removed the front bumper so I could find good mounting spots for the ballasts. In doing so I had disconnected my fogs and forgot to reconnect one of them when I put it all back together so only one fog worked. If you do it this way check them out. Otherwise I'm not sure what else unless maybe you loosened the clips on the connectors just enough so they won't work?
Does your fog light indicator on your instrument cluster work?
As far is this being a common issue or not I don't believe it is. When I researched my HIDs and installing them I never came across anything about them interfering with the fogs. What kit are you using?
