Default Fog lights are not working.. HELP!!

I've searched and read the threads on here about fog light problems but still cannot troubleshoot exactly what my problem is.

Relay appears fine, fuses are fine, switch is good, bulbs tested good with volt meter. They just stopped working over the past week or so. I haven't been under it to check the ground yet, which is possibly my problem. In case it ends up NOT being the ground, have any of you guys had this happen where they do not work and you have tried basically everything? I need to get under it and see where the ground for them is located. All other lighting is working as it should.

Thanks for any insight.

It's a 2000 coupe.

Well check the grounds and get back to us, since it's pretty well known that they cause a variety of problems on this car.

Also - all caps and two exclamation points? For the fog lights? You live in Kentucky, not San Francisco. It can't possibly be that urgent.

It was the ground.. Cleaned it up with a brush and they work perfect!

Well you found it already before I saw this thread. For others though, the ground is on top of the right forward frame rail next to the hood riser.
