Default Help. Foglight... quesiton

Alright, I bought my civic like a month ago, and I still can't get the foglights to work. I got a Civic Hatchback 93 VX Canadian model. When I bought the car, I bought it off the Honda Dealer for a okay price, I would assume everything was working comming off from them, but the fog lights are real Stanley Fogs. I have no clue about wiring, so i'm basically clueless. There is a button on my dash, its the foglight button, and when I turn my headlights on, and press it.... the foglight button "Lights" up. But, alas, there is no working foglight. I showed my friends and they couldnt figure it out either.... So what should I do? Oh yea and I did search, and nothing popped up. Thanks guys, oh yea im pretty noobie with cars so take it easy <3

check your grounds, should be one in side your car near the fuse box, one near the fogs...and check the fuse.

you should take them out and send them to me....I'll make sure they work in my ej...

seriously though...check your grounds and fuses.....and last but not least make sure the lights themselves are plugged in to the harness.....ya never know....

If those don't work get an ohmmeter(preferrebly digital) and a manual with wiring diagrams and check to see if their is a short, etc.

Check the fuse. Take it to the dealer, no excuse for getting a broken car.

Sigh... No luck guys, I checked EVERYTHING : Fuses ( perfect condition I might add ), the Groudn wires ( everything looks good and hooked up properly ), the damn FogLights themselves ( Bulbs look brand new ).... I just don't have a clue WHY in the F*CK they don't work . I'm gonna call the Honda place and ask them what to do, they better tell me what I wanna hear! Well, i'll tell you guys how it works out later, thanks for the suggestions!
