Fog Lights WTF!?
 

So I go outside to my car to get a rubber gasket i had left in my car from the shifter install. Just messing around I wanted to see how my lights look against the garage. I turn on the lights and at first dont notice anything, the headlights look great. but no fogs??? I push in the light switch bezel to 1 click (fogs and blinkers) but no fogs!!!!! Whats going on here?? I installed new bubls recently. But they were working PERFECTLY yesterday....and for them to burn out at the exact same time makes no sense. What couldve happened? I'm going to check th bulbs tommrow, but I doubt its them....and to top it off in that 5 minutes I was outside I lost the rubber gasket :mumum:

Check to see if your bulbs are broken. The size 880 is a smaller wattage than your 899. i believe 880 is 27w and 899 is 31 so you could of popped them. replace your 880s with a higher quality bulb or go to 899. Also check your fogs for water inside the lense.

The aftermarket bulbs I have in there are 893...and it HAS been raining for the last 2 days....what if there's water inside the lens? are the bulbs still useable?

if they dont turn on, they probably popped. If there is water inside the lense, pull the bulb out and dry it out 100% with a hair dryer. Your best bet is to reseal the fog light or replace em like I did. My OEMs started leaking right about at 39k this past spring so I bought the clear fogs from here. My bulbs kept popping too with the oems. If the bulbs work, they are still usable - but im sure you read or heard not to touch the bulb because your skins oils can damage it and reduce the life

Ok, Ill check into that...hopefully i dont have to spend more money lol..

If your fogs dont turn on, they are unplugged or broken.

I dont wanna wait till tommrow to know...screw it ill be back in 15 minutes i dont care if its dark

Ok, heres the deal. Its not the bulbs OR the housing. FOr somereason the DONT turn on and the bulbs are fine, I even put the Sylvannias that were in it when i got it, BACK in on both sides. They still dont work. The fuse that controls the fogs, does it control anything else?? This is confusing.

MattJ have you had any leaks with the clear ones?

Yes my passanger side one leaks.
Better check your wiring then springs, or a fuse. Also take the bulb out, the fillament should be connected, not broken apart. Look for any type of small burn on the bulb near the middle.

you said you pused in the switch bezel, im assuming you are talking about the light controls.

you DID make sure the fog light button by the shifter is on as well right? That is the actual fog light control. Without that one on, they aint coming on.

Man, that sucks, I dont wanna spend 80 bucks to have them leak on my and blow all my bulbs out...LOL, if you forgot to hit that switch...

im gonna laugh my ass off if that switch was turned off. :laughing5

I was thinking the same thing, the switch,check the switch. Since you were messing with the shifter it seemed obivous at least to me :icon_rabb

lol for some reason it just never occured to me

lol the switch was the first thing that came to mind when i just read all this..

i love that switch, i just hit it when i want to pretend to be a v6 (thats what i usually see at night when i try to tell if its a gt or v6).. i guess it doesn't work too well with the exhaust :confused1

Now I'm LMOA.

Man, with all the "LMAO's" in this thread, we must have a bunch of guys walking around without asses now.



It's always the simple stuff that gets ya, huh?

Thats for sure!
LMAO!
OH NO, IM ASS-LESS NOW!
:confused1

what do you mean???do v6's not have fogs? or they always have em on??

v6's do NOT come with fogs.

ha that sucks

Any update?

??? the button was off...thats all

Only an idiot has that problem...
