Cant be too sure. Did you try reconnecting all of the plugs? Id do that first then swap the ballasts just to see if maybe one would come on. Double check your ground wires

Would you recommend VVME.com? I was looking at ordering HIDs for my fog lights but was really skeptical at the $40 price. It just seems too good to be true! lol

A friend of mine has them on his sierra. Hes been having a problem with one turning off but when he turns the lights off and back on it comes on. If I could do it again I would just do the vvme for the price. If they broke I may go with stangmods then. The color looks really good though

i did try unplugging and plugging them in again and nothing happend.
the kit is really easy to install. it seems like a great kit. the shipping was really fast! the ballasts say "Hella Products" on it and i konw that they are a great brand of off road lights so yeah. i would recomend them i think my problem is just something minor.

Oh no, do not be fooled, those things are in no way related, or similar to anything Hella makes, it is a blatant rip off. Do you see any Hella products being sold at such cheap prices? Companies that can not stand behind the quality and performance of their product result to gimmicks, lies, and good old ripping off brand names. Hella products cost a lot of cash, however silkscreen printing costs little to nothing.
In fact, this particular VVME brand is very well known for having problems with the equipment, and then also the lack of any real warranty, for the most part you are lucky if they respond to you after sale. I can tell you this because I hear it from our customers every single day!

I have a fog light kit from vvme. When I first received my kit one of the ballasts was dead. I got a new one from vvme and now everything works just fine.

i found the problem, a pin in one of the conectors was pushed back and just barely making a conection. i pulled the pin back through and plugged it back in and it works great! regarding the company contacting me back, they replyed the next day so no problems there.
