My Fogs are Dead

I've got power to the switch and I can hear the relay clicking, but no lights. Just happened out of the blue. Both bulbs appear good and the harness is hooked together well. I'm bummed

Any ideas as the to the problem would be helpful.

Thanks folks!

Talking Sudden death

Sudden death usually means one of two things:

1) blew a fuse somewhere (don't forget ones that may be in-line as well as in a fuse box)

2) bad connection, usually a ground wire

If they are Hellas or aftermarket, check the connectors coming off the relay as they have a tendency to wiggle loose and then electrical tape them up to the relay so thye are sturdier.

Good luck!

Could be a relay too.
See this post by me.

I had to test a relay, and I found out it was bad.
Replaced it and all was bliss.
