yep, so my fog lights wont work. i changed the bulbs to see if they were burnt out, nothing. checked fuses, everything is good there. and all the wiring looks good. no loose connections. also, when i flip the switch to turn on the fog lights, the high beam light comes on. any ideas? its a 96 z26. Thanks!

Pull the switch and check IT'S wiring and circuit. Sounds like a faulty switch to me. Wait, you're also the guy who just switched out his fogs right? I would check and make sure you didn't accidentally cross up some wires.

There is a relay and a fuse for the foglights built into the dash harness. You might need to check that.

Well the fog lights didnt work before i did the swap for the new foglights. i figured it was just dead bulbs, but they still wont work with the new ones. i also checked the relay and all fuses. everything is good. i just double checked wiring and everything is secure and connected correctly. man this kinda sucks.  haha at least its just the fog lights.

indeed it does. i talked to someone down at advanced auto parts and the guy took alook around and couldnt find anything that would cause this problem. so looks like i got brand new fog lights for show! haha weird.
