Hey guys, I was trying to install some hid fog lights in my 99 GT that my girlfriend drives. I havent driven the car in some time so I dont know exactly when/what happened but the fog lights dont work anymore. When I flip the switch on the dash the orange indicator light gives me nothing. I looked under the hood at the relay and it appears to be fine. What could be my problem? Also, Ive got hids in the headlights already, is there a way to tap into the headlight wiring to have the fogs come on along with the headlights if I cant find the problem? Appreciate it in advance fellas.

Click on the GM Service Manual link up top, then do a Number search for Document ID: 303476
Fog Lamps Inoperative - All

That will show you how to check them step by step. ;-)

Ok so ive taken the switch out and checked the wires and theyre fine. i opened the switch up and a little piece of metal came out. my guess is that its what makes the contact when u flip the switch but i cant seem to figure out where exactly it goes.
