Default Foglights out

Well, one of them started dimming...then they both jsut went out. Gonna check the fuse today but I doubt thats it seince one of them went out slowly. I'm not taking it to a shop yet because they like to charge out the *** even when they don't do anything for ya (got me for $30 for an OBD code that I did'nt even ask them to check...). So what are the possibilities for my foglights not functioning?

ive gone through 4 sets of foglights in the past 2 years... i believe my foglights dont seal correctly and when it rains they blow.

If it looks to be an electrical problem here is a link for an online repair manual with wire diagrams very helpful

Is there a write up someplace of how to change the bulbs? I have a feeling if I take it to the shop I'll end up paying more then I should....

It's really easy to change the bulbs. The hardest part is getting your arm underneath the bumper and trying not to touch the bulb while fitting it in.

Just twist the assembly and then pull straight out.

The bulbs are easy,but changning the fog lights sucks. Ijust ordered a set of clear fogs.......I hope they don'tgive me too much trouble!
