ok so i get into my car and try to turn my fogs on, i push the button but its depressed and the green light doesnt' come on and the fogs don't switch on either. i checked the fuses thats not it. i replaced the bulbs thats not it. any suggestions as to why my fogs aren't working. be great to have here in germany cuz of all the freakin fog there is in the mornings and at dusk. other than fuses and bulbs, what could cause even the lil green "on" light in the dash not to work?

Not sure if it'll help, but when I first got my tib my fog lights didn't work either.
Turns out the button to turn them on was actually sticking and not making the connection. The button would click in, but I guess it wasn't far enough to make the connection. green light wouldn't come on either.
I took it apart to see what was wrong, couldn't find anything, put it back together and it worked fine after that.

I believe there are fuses both inside the car and in the engine bay fuse box. Did you check both of them?

finally got off work early enough to go buy a fuse tester. sure enough it was the fuse for fogs in the engine bay. replaced it, now they work, except i need to replace the bulbs. i'll search here on the forums for it. i guess having higher wattage bulbs than recommended is a bad idea, seems to keep killing the fuses. thanks for the suggestions.
