Need help please! Fog HID conversion

I read a couple of threads on how to do fog HID conversion and decided to do it for my 08 G37 coupe. It is a major PITA to do this so I really respect all the people who have finished this. It is almost finished but now I have a problem, the fog won't turn on. While I was doing it, I tested and everything worked like a charm. Even after putting the bulb in place, I tested a second time and everything was still working. Now after I zip-tied the ballast and the wire in place, the fog will not turn on and I have no idea what I did wrong.

Please suggest me as to where I should start to diagnosis the problem. Do you think I blow any fuse? Is the fog fuse in the IPDM box?

Now I did not know that the fog wattage is 55W so I purchased the 35W kit from DDM Tuning. Could that be the problem? Does anyone know if I can use the 35W ballast or it has to be 55W ballast?

Please help me out guys. Thank you so much

Almost all hid kits are 35w. You may have pulled a connection when you zip tied the wires down or may have blown a fuse. Check the owners manual for the fuse location and check the fuse. If both fogs are not coming on, that's most likely what happened.

The coupes are all 55W and the sedans are 35W. You can use a 35W instead of 55W but not 55W instead of 35W.
