fog lights

Im not sure what I did wrong, but I took off the bumper so I could remove the lights and buff them. But now that I put everything back together the fog lights dont turn on.

I reached in through the wheel well and took out the bulb and wire to make sure it hooked up correctly buy still no light. Any help?

Dump question but do you have the fog lights turned on in the car or are your high beams on? If, yes and everything is hooked up right then i looks like you need some new bulbs.

^..................that's not a dumb question!
It's kinda like the glove box one...............have you turned your lights on?




If it's not that you forgot how to turn them on, you could have popped the 15amp fuse for the fogs.
It's #21 in the engine bay fuse box.

I turn the headlights on and fog lights dont come on. No matter what setting i have it on. I could get new bulbs but why would both go out only after I take the bumper?

So..............see Invasion8.........it wasn't a dumb question after all now was it!

Think we both had that feeling.

Before spinning off into some long *** "what it could be" thread, it's always best to check the simple stuff first!
