    Both fog lights are out...

    Just noticed that both my fog lights are out, they were working fine saturday night, but they havent worked since then, is this common, a freak issue, or coincedentally both bulbs burnt out? thanks victor

    try the individual fog light switch under the headlight switch. Is it switched to the right?

    yeah, it lights up when you have it turn on along with the dial on "P" or the headlights.

    Thats weird, never heard of that problem. A fuse maybe?

    Hopefully someone can shed some light on it.

    would that fuse be in the kick panel or under the hood? I did go over a pretty harsh bump sat night but when I got out of the car the all the lights were still working, I kinda remember them kicking on a little later than usual when I had first left to go out and this was before the bump but didnt think too much of it

    Honestly I have no idea. Just check both and see if any are loose and check the connections to the fogs. They might be corroded.
