Do you have hid lights? I think you do but not sure if standard or not. By hid the bluish High intensity lamps? If you do it takes more than just power to work these. You have a igniter and a ballast. Does your light flash at all when starting? You may need a ballast and an igniter as well.

Have you tried another as in a second new bulb? You aren't touching them with your bare hands on the glass are you? The other thing is it could be a bad connector on your harness. I had one of those once and it was a pain in the *** until fixed. Or you could just simply have a bad new bulb.

Along this same thread, my '04 has HID"s, w/ the built-in fogs. In trying to change out one of the fog light bulbs, there was a small spark, now neither fog works, and I see no indicator light at the switch, and I cannot find a fuse. Answers, anyone?

I had the same thing happen to my 00 , i dont know if your saying your foglights are HID saying there "built in" or you just meant stock OEM. But i replaced a bulb and i didnt tuck the ground wire in the loom on the fog light housing, i hit a bump and it tapped the "+" wire and blew my fuse and my bulb. The fuse is in the dash fuse box location. Its a mini 15 amp fuse.
but mine is a 5th gen and your a 6th so the fuse location could be different but i doubt it.
