    None yet. Just got truck, looking for advice.
    My fog lights haven’t operated for a while.I never got around to checking it out, as it wasn’t highest on my priority list. So I checked the fuse today which was ok, bought and installed new led lights, read the manual to make sure it wasn’t something stupid on my part, and I can’t get them on. What am I overlooking?

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Headlights on low beam or high beam? Fog lights do not work with the high beams on.

    Try swapping the fog light fuse with a known working fuse of the same Amps. The fuse may visually look okay but may be blown.

    Thanks. Didn’t think to try another fuse, might be it. Appreciate all the response, as I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t doing something boneheaded like checking it when the headlights are on high beam.

    Ya you can't always tell by looking if a fuse is bad. I keep fresh new ones in the console and check a suspect one with those first.
