Well its in the wrong section but its your first post, hehe. How much do ya know about electrical? Did ya make sure you have power going in and out of the switch and into the lights? If not grab a test light and double check. Try taking out the lights and test them with the battery and straight wiring to eliminate the possibility of them not working for some reason. I know these are generic tips but its kinda a generic question. Pics and lots of info help when you are asking questions on the net.

any fogs are pain in the *** because of wiring... if you're 100 percent about the wiring, then it has to be the fuse. sometimes its the switch itself. Do you have the tool that reads if there is power in the wiring? those will help a lot. that will tell you if its the fuse or something...

"OEM Style" = ebay... I picked up a switch from autozone and fit it in one of the switch spacers. power from the battery, ground, wire to the fog lights... works without the lowbeams on, or the parking lights, or with the highbeams... too complicated. what if u just want to drive around with the foglights on in really bad weather? Forget thoes switches and hit autozone

I bought thoes ebay ones, they worked for a while but then they were flickering, and then eventually went out compleatly. all i did was rewire the the whole thing with a larger gage then they originally came with. not its been over one year and no problem.
