My fog lights don't seem to be working. The little LED next to the switch doesn't come on when I pull it out. I have walked out and checked and the lights aren't on either.

Any suggestions on what I can check?

Heh - I thought the same thing for the first couple hours I had my car. I pulled into my driveway, turned it off, pulled the parking brake, and put the lights to the on position and pulled the button out for the fogs. Got out, looked, and only the main headlights were on. I was pissed, but figured it was probably a fuse.

Only realized later, when I saw the reflection of my fogs in a car I was behind at a light, that the car has to be on/running in order to run the fogs - only the primary headlights will stay on with the car off.

Of course, this may not be the issue for you, but just an FYI.

Also for the Canadian cars, the fogs only work when the headlights are turned on. Bummer

That was it. I just checked them with the engine running and they worked (without the headlights -- non-canadian).

Thx guys.

Also, are the headlights on Highbeam mode? I think the foglights turn off when high beams are on right?

Only my passanger side fog light works for some reason. They are going to fix it when I bring it in for its first service. Kinda stinks, but thats life.

Yes so true it had me thinking my switch was bad, but it was just the High Beams on!

Before you go out and buy a bulb check to make sure the plug hasn't slipped off. I made the drive to the auto store, bought the bulb just to find out the dang thing was unplugged. May save you that trip.
