Fog Lights

Ever since I bought my car my fog lights had not worked. I replaced alot of the fuses and they still dont. Is it possible that I just need to replace the bulbs (is that possible?) or would I have to replace the whole light? Or could it be something else?

Re: Fog Lights

Could be a fuse...relay....switch....bulb....bad wire....connection. The relay might be the easiest to reach, check & determine which direction to go in the circuit to start looking for problems.

Re: Fog Lights

The following may not be helpful at all, but FWIW, from 86-on, Camaro fog lights work with parking lights on and with low beams on. They won't work with high beams.

Oh yeah....Been so long since I "fixed" mine, I forgot about that. Mine stay on even with the High Beams now.

You should change out the bulb, it might be as easy as that, when I got my T/A, neither of the fog lights worked, I changed out the bulbs and that did the trick... they were way over due for getting changed out.

Re: Fog Lights

The number you want is 885, however it looks like it not available... you could get the 893. This thread should help...
