Doh! RTFM, thanks!
I'm so used to those manuals saying "dealer serviced item only" that I never even thought of looking there.
Thanks again, I'll check that out this morning.

Good stuff. Thanks to you as well!

already did that, and did`nt work for me. the issue is that i`m bought a nokya 2500k yellow bulbs for the fog lights and the specifications says that are 45w bulbs. the ones that i took out from the nitro are 42w. right now when i switched the bulbs and tried turn them on they only flash and go off, they dont stay still.. how can i put more watts on the nokya bulbs so they can work. i will appreciate any help.

Isn't that interesting!!!
I just did the exact same thing with those bulbs and had the exact same problem.
I just put it down to a bad batch of bulbs but now you've got the same problem.
It's very hard to believe that 3W would overload the Nitro's electrical system.

With these Nitro computers, you never know...

The TIPM which feeds the fog lamp bulb circuit monitors current draw. An over current situation such as the 45w bulbs as opposed to the factory 42w bulbs momentarily shuts down the circuit to protect the module and the wiring. It will then switch back on looking to see if the overcurrent condition is gone and will continue as you've seen. Often it will shutdown completely and not re-activate until its seen a key cycle.

Only way around it would be to run wiring up a relay that controls a 12v feed straight from the battery (fused of course).

Take a look at KenCary's thread on lighting. Very helpful on lighting upgrades. Click here My Driving Light Project :smileup:

Thanks for the explanation.
I was afraid it would be something like that.
Slightly off topic, but would these bulbs affect my 2006 Magnum the same way? I wanted to go yellow this time around but not if it's going to create the same problem.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I haven't come across any information that tells me what type of power feed is used for the fog lamps on a 06 LX. I haven't scoped it but PWM voltages for front lighting have been used for a few years now and they usually incorporate overcurrent protection. Doesn't hurt to try.:smileup:
