mine did the same. just hit your headlight with our fist, it should then flicker on. if that dont work change out the bulb or use that as an excuse to upgrade to 06 headlights

No switch. They come on with the park lights.

How do you know the bulbs are fine if it's not coming on?

You may have to go in there and make sure the bulbs arent loose if you are confident that they are ok. I didnt have this problem from STOCK bulbs. But a lot of AFTERMARKET bulbs dont fit as snug as the factories and I've seen this happen from time to time where they just got loose.

Both at the same time could be interesting though. Look in your manula(manual) and see if there's a fuse JUST for those lights.

You can do it yourself, but if you are like me (not that good with stuff like that) you can go to clearcorners.com and have it done. The mod is expensive, but then again it all depends on what you are after. The cost of the mod is nothing when compared to everything else that is going into my build.

Just wait until the plastic divider between the upper and lower light cracks and then replace the entire headlight assembly. If you run your fog lights it will crack, just a matter of time.

^ I don't run my fogs...it takes away from the LED mod installed in the fog light chamber.

I almost did that but it was going to take too much work to take off the light, take OUT a plastic piece that is in there running along the clearance strip light (its not hollow like I though), and install LED's. I ended up installing them in the mesh and it looks nice to me. I may see what's up with the clearance strip if I can find a cheap pair of factory headlights. Im thinking about putting together a kit to sell.

Mine are SO much brighter. My Avatar was in the middle of the day.
