foglight question

My factory foglights haven't worked since I purchased the car, I checked the faq's and maintenance link but couldn't find anything. How do I check what's blown or broken? is there any common failure in them, what should I check?
thanks

the bulbs are 55w H3. there is a fuse in the fuse box for the fog lights and there is a relay under the hood.

check the fuse first, then the bulb, then the switch, then the relay.

that may not be the best order but its prolly just a blown fuse or both bulbs are bad.

Thanks for the help, I have some spare time and i'm tryin' to get all the little things fixed on my car for the summer. Can you get upgraded H3 bulbs? maybe hyperwhite ones?

yeah they sell hyperwhites but just stay within the 55W and you will be fine.
