Okay...before all of you start complaining about yet ANOTHER fog light thread...hear me out first...please

So about a week ago....I noticed that BOTH of my fog lights were off....naturally I check the switch a couple of times.....no change...next...start the diagnostics

I recently changed both bulbs about a month ago....didn't have any problems and they were both working just fine after the change up until I noticed they weren't on.....

I checked the fuses and replaced them with NEW ones (both the fuse under the hood and under the dash...

I checked the Relay and it seems to be working just fine (here a click in the relay when I flip the foglight switch on and off and even swapped it with one of the other exact same relays and still didn't work)

The only thing I have NOT done yet (haven't had much time lately to mess around) was check the bulbs....2 reasons why...I just changed them a month ago....it would be quite unusual for them to burn out that fast....what would be even more unusual is for BOTH of them to burn out at the SAME time?????

Any thoughts on what it could be......I will check the bulbs soon in the interim....however...if they are not the problem.....please give any thoughts on what could be going on....

Oh....I have no other problems with the car whatsoever.....

 

Take it 1 step at a time. Check the bulbs. Swap them and figure out if they died at the same time. Where did you buy the bulbs?

 

Check for 12v at the fog light plug harness. If you have 12v down that there, it's has to be the bulbs or the fog lamp itself.

 

Update.....it WAS the freakin bulbs....pieces of ****.....they were those blue tinted hyper white bulbs.....they looked nice (light color)...but whats the point if they burned out that fast.....went to the dealer yesterday to buy OEM H3's....freakin stealership...they wanted something like 25 bucks a bulb....YA..RIGHT!!!! I bought the sylvania H3's today and put them in....so far so good......

 

The question is did you touch the bulbs with your hands?
