Hi again,

In the space of a week, my left and right headlights stopped working, and I noticed today that the fog lights are out also. However, the high beams are ok, as well as the parking/turn lights.

Does anyone have any idea what system could be affected? I should warn that I'm not a DIY'er at all, and this car has never given me reason to be. But I'm a fairly bright person, and I would like to see if this is something I can handle.

Thanks for any help,

okay, when was the last time the bulbs were changed? The headlights are dual filament, so the low can go out, but the high will still work. Try new bulbs all the way around

so nick, your headlights went out too or are you just talkin about your fogs?
as far as the original question... your bulbs most likely burned out in the headlights. mine burned out within a few weeks of one another too. as far as the fogs go i have no idea, mine come from wal-mart...

no, just my fogs are gone , eberything else works fine. I suspect the FOG relay to be bad
will check it when it gets warmer thou.

or i might one day run the fogs completly independly with switch somewhere inside the cabin.

Yes, I came across your post & thought it sounded similar. But with all 4 bulbs blown, I just can't imagine that the problem is as simple as replacing them. They've never needed to be replaced (god, I love this car!), but for all of them to fail at the same time just doesn't seem statistically possible.

Of course I'll try that tonight though. I'll post back my results.
