fog light problem
Ive an urgent issue to deal with before my MOT next week.
My fog light has stopped working, i remember it working during the winter but after checking all my lights at the weekend it seems as if the light has gone bust.
I
had a go at changing the bulb(which caused me to remove the bumper as the light lens screws had become rotten and seized)
bulb eventuallt changed with nice shiny new one - fog light still fails to work
There is no illumination on the dash switch so im snookered!
Is this an auto sparky job or has anybody else experienced this?
Thanks
Marc

I reckon it's the fuse. Mine's a JDM, so I have no idea which fuse (which will be under the dash, driver's side) it is. You 'should' have spares in there to replace it with.
One thing to check though...did you reconnect the fog light electrical connector after changing the lamp?

Annoying. It's something that isn't mentioned on the fuse diagram, nor is it in the service manual. At least, not the version I have. Assuming foglights aren't compulsory in the US, where the manual appears to be from.
