if its the actual fog lights your checking, just remember that they will need a grounding wire since the front bumper covers are fiberglass. so check that they have a ground wire and that it's grounded properly.

I'm not trying to be a smart ***, but make sure they are turned on. It would suck if you pulled it all apart only to realize they were turned off.

If I am not mistaken some cars you ahve to have the parking lights on, or the headlights on for the foglamps to operate. HOWEVER, if you have the brights on they will not light...

thanx for all of y'all help
I think it's the relay. I pulled it off and it had corrosion all over it, I tried to clean it off, but I heard rattling in it, so I'm assuming that it's the relay.
