Fog light wiring

Hey guys! Needing your help! I just recently bought a set of used foglights and pigtails for the 86. I have 24 volts to each side of the wires but when i hook the lights up i have nothing. Any suggestions?

Yes, i have all power to the bare wires. Then when i put the bulbs to them i get nothing. I ran them from the battery and the bulbs come on..

If you have power but the lights don't light then ground must be absent since the lights work when connected to battery.
