fog lights not working... anyone else had this problem?

i had hyperwhite 100w bulbs in my fogs, and i noticed that they weren't turning on anymore.. could be the wiring, but the guys at the dealer said they have never heard of fogs going out on the max's even w/ high wattage bulbs. i'll have to check it out now, but has anyone else encountered this?

I had PIAA Superwhites in mine. One burnt out, so I put the stock ones back in. Same with my headlights. I dont have time to be buying/changing bulbs all the time. Id rather just have the stock ones in and not worry about it....

both of mine went out at the same time once so i checked all the fuses and wiring and whatnot, found nothing.. so i tried switching the bulbs, and it worked.. both the bulbs i had in there (piaa platnum superwhite h3's) burnt out at the same time.. so check that, it may be the problem. i replaced them with piaa xtreme white h3's

Don't remember, but I went through each one w/ a conductivity tester. Just replaced the one that was bad.
