That's what I was gonna suggest, looks nice though. I have 8K fogs and stock HID headlight which i'll probably switch to 6K! What brand did you use?
Cause yours looks like a way better quality than mine, but then that could also be the pic!

yeah check yer dimmer....did you try wiring up extra swithces or make you foglights come on without the headlights?? if you did check whatever you used as your ground.....I bet it's not really a ground.....if theres voltage on it when you turn your headlights on then it's the supply voltage for your dash lights but when your headlights are off it appears to be a ground.... So when you turn your headlights on your dash light fuse pops.

Looks cool. Check the the dimmer switch to see if its harness is plugged in, and if so, check its brightness setting. Check all your fuses as well.

Ah, yea the led in my Cima headlights corners did the same to me and I ended up just running the regular filament bulbs, wasn't that serious to run leds up front.
