Default Cant get fogs to light up

i got some fogs on my EF. and they were working fine until i started messing around with the switches. then they just stopped working. i thought it was the switch at first cuz theres power coming out of the wire and its grounded but the switch doesnt even light up and i got a new one. so idk what it is???? anybody know. could it be the bulbs.

Have you even tried checking the fuse? Or even running the fogs them selves to the battery to see if they light up?

Are your using a non oem fog light kit that comes with the red light up switch? If you are then I know those come with crappy wires. Make sure the fog lights are both connected to the single wire that runs to the switch. It's normally like a "Y" set up. Then check each fog light ground wire. On your switch check the 3 wires that connects to it. You have the ground that lights up the switch(you don't have to use it, it only lights the switch up. Then you have one wire that runs to the fuse box for power. Last you have the wire that comes from the lights to the switch. Make sure all of those are on the right spot on the switch.

I would hook the bulbs directly to a power source to make sure they work.

oright i tested the light bulbs and they turned on. so its not the bulbs or the switch or fuses. it has to be a bad connection somewhere. imma try and rewire the whole dam thing.

okay finally figured out what was wrong. the power wire that goes to the switch wasn't connected to a spot where it had power.
but now idk wheres a good spot to hook it up.
would it be safe to stick it into one of the fuses on the fusebox???
