Default Fog lights went dead .....

Haven't had a chance to look at them, but figuring it's probably just a fuse. Any ideas if the fuse for the fogs are under the hood or in the passenger footwell?? They both just stopped working, and I don't get the light on the dash. They are the PIAA 1100X's, and I think with my new stereo, there was just too much electricity flowing and something had to give. I hope it's just a fuse. If a wire came loose, would at least one still work, or would I at least still get the little light on the dash button?? Thanks. :cheers:

Yeah I think you have too much electricity flowing. You need to swap those fog lights for a set of stockers. I'll be happy to give you an even steven trade for mine so you won't have to go thru this inconvenience again. :D :D :D

There was a problem a while back with faulty relays on the PIAA 1100x's.
The faulty relay type does not have a replaceable fuse. If you have that relay, contact PIAA & they'll send you the new style with a replaceable fuse.

Just bought and had the PIAA's installed a month ago. :confused: Hopefully it's simpler than that. Thanks.

Not that anyone cares :rolleyes: but I got it fixed. Just a blown fuse in the underhood fuse compartment. Though, it would have been nice if someone would have told me that little white thingy in the middle was a fuse puller, :bb :bb before I dropped the fuse into nowhere land. ;) At least it was only the bad fuse I dropped, but they are hell to get off without the proper tools (steak knife & flathead screwdriver - hey, my tools are in Houston). :eek: :D

:seeya :cheers:
