One of my Factory Fog Lights isnt working... What to check
So i noticed one of my fogs isnt working, so i got under the car, and checked the connection leading to the actual light, and it looked ok. i disconnected it, and reconnected it, and light is still not working. Is there something else I should check. Light is only 1year old, but i always turn them on, even during the day, so they get used alot... Anything i should check?

I just had to replace the bulb in one of mine after about a year and a half. Try tapping it with your hand and see if it comes on. Worked for me for 2 weeks and then it finally went. Its 18 bucks for a new bulb from the dealership.

Swap the bulbs, if the opposite side doesn't come on, its the bulb. If the same side doesn't come on, it's wiring.
Don't buy a bulb from a dealership, they charge the price for 3-4 bulbs for one. You may also want to consider getting 2 bulbs at the same time and replacing both... but that's just me. I hate seeing a car with 2 different bulbs coming at me and looks all disfigured.

OK, now for the dummie in me to ask this... Is there a Write-up somewhere on how to change the Fog Bulb, or to swap them? I know how to get to them, just not what is in the full procedure...
Thanks
Thanks

I don't remember off hand, but if there's no back cover (there probably is), once you remove that, there should be some metal clips that hold the bulb in place, push those out and the bulb should come out. Unplug the harness from the bulb if not already. Pop in the new one, it should have some notches that it fits in. Plug in harness/cover.
