Default Where does this connector go?

Found a connector on the drivers side of my intake filter. The wires are black and purple that go into it.

My foglights aren't working could that possibly be it?!

Here is a picture:

I think it the fog light connector (not from the picture but from the colors you note.

Have you looked to see if the fog light connector is hanging down somewhere?

I looked quickly but didn't see any empty connectors hanging
That would be cool to solve my foglight issue!

Most likely plugs into the back of the fog light itself. Remove the bottom access panel or loosen the wheel liner to take a peek

From looking at the picture, I think you may have 2 issues.. One being the plug, it looks like it might have tape on it, if so, it does look like the plug for the fog lamps.. Left side which plug onto the back of the lamp. Second issue is the hose, it should be coneected to the L shaped tube on the air filter box.. From the picture it looks like it's just sitting there.. That will cause codes to be thrown.

Jack up the left front and remove the wheel. The top pic shows the bottom access to be removed, 5 or 6 10mm bolts, this will expose your air pump and fog light. In the 2nd pic you are looking over the air pump and you can see the fog light connector. As connecticut stated, make sure the air pump is also all plugged in and hoses connected.
