I've had my foglights (ebay oem style) on my car for the longest time, with the 04 Civic Fog Light Wire Harness and Honda Pilot Fog Light Button...all have been working for around 3 years...I went to install my yellow h11 bulbs last night at work...I turned on the car, turn on my headlights (HID), then hit the fog light button...the fog lights turned on for a second then went off...now they won't come back on.
I've taken the bumper off to get a good look at all my wires and connections and double checked the ground, but I don't think the problem is in front of the car, I think its behind the dash panel...I double checked the relay (Honda OEM relay), and that was fine. I press the fog light button in and the green light illuminates.
I checked all possible fuses (the only one I can think of is FUSE #18 under the steering wheel), and it wasn't burnt out. I'm clueless as to what it might be....I already swapped out the yellow bulbs with the stock bulbs and they don't work either. I need some opinions and help on what it might be. Thanks guys!

Re: Fog Lights Not Working!
if you bought it from ebay, you have a seperate fog fuse. trace the wires and find that fuse.
btw, who installed it, you or someone else?

Re: Fog Lights Not Working!
I bought the fog lights on ebay, but i didn't use the wire harness(that goes in the dash)...only the harness for the lights itself (2 grounds, 2 plugs for fog lights, and brown connector that connects to stock brown connector on the car). There is no fuse that I have seen on both harnesses...
I installed it...and I followed the Honda Diagram for the 04' Civic which breaks it down step by step.
I took the fog light harness off the car tonight and examined it...it looked totally fine...i split the loom and checked the wires...they were still intact and not burned or anything. I'm guessing its a fuse somewhere. I will check autozone.com and see if I can find it. Thanks for the reply...any help is welcome.
