HELP with Fog Lights

I purchased two new aftermarket LED fog light units to replace the original fog lights. However when I installed them they won't work. I plug the old ones in and they work. Does anyone know why or had the same problem????

After a lot of expert advise, from adding resistors to re-wiring the light system , finally found the problem. I had to remove the OEM (male) plug and the (female) socket on the new LED lights and direct wire together, a little solder and elect. tape all done. It turns out that although the OEM light plug (male) looks to marry up with the new light (female) plug, they were not compatible. Lights work just great.

Sometimes things are better that way, especially if the female plugs a bitch, at least then you won't lose half your stuff.
