driver side fog light out... fuse? loose connections?

Hey guys,

So my driver side fog light is out. I have replaced with another bulb. It turned on once I replaced it but 10 mins later, it was gone again.

For the past 3 weeks, I did observe it turn on once... and it hasnt ever since. What does this mean?

I checked to make sure the bulb is on correct. I looked at the fuse box but didnt know which fuse is for the fog light... anyone know?

The fuse box has a legend right on the cover.. but I dont know which is which.

I have a set of HID's waiting to be installed for my fogs.. but until I figure this out.. there is no sense in installing it.

Thanks again.

I've had this same problem but it started off with my passenger fog light and now both don't work and both bulbs are still good.

Sucks. Quick update.

I actually installed an HID kit on my daytime runners. Around March 2011. Everything has been fine. It seemed to have solved the problem.

But about a week or so ago ( a year later), one of them went out again :S

Which is very uncommon for an HID bulb because they are meant to last much longer than normal bulbs. I got an expensive HID kit too. Not a cheap one.

I dont know what to do. I have ordered another bulb and we'll see what happens...

Anyone solve this issue.
Sample problem here.
1 fog light went out. Replaced it.
Now both are out. And the bulbs are fine.

I recently fixed this problem, put an HID kit in my foglight housing, one side went out, then both went out. I ended up ditching the HID's, and they still didn't work with the halogen bulbs. After a little searching around, there is a third fuse box the manual doesn't mention, I had to remove my battery to get it open, it was right next to the battery, the black box behind the fuse box you can get to. Changed the foglight fuse, believe it was 15 amp, and working no problems now!
