i have a 95 millenia
when i bought it, both of the foglights werent working. I turn on the switch (yes i know, my low beams have to be on) and nothing happens.
Well now, i want to attempt to fix them.
I examined them, and it appears as though there arent any cracks on them. I also tried to take them out, but to no avail.
Does anyone know why they're not working and how to take them out?

\Thanks for your help

just all the fuses and relays. I know there is atleast 2 fuses that could prevent them from working, possibly 4. it not, check the phyically switch, it may have simply worn out

that would defeat the purpose of having them, not to mention cars with stock lights are usually more desireable

As I didn't have time to make the fogs on my Milly working (both don't wotk), since I'm busy paying for engine rebuild. Howevr I would like to know where's the fuse for the foglights. I remember looking for it in that small box, next to passenger's doors but it wasn't indicated on the diagram which can be found there. There were fuses for interior lights, cigarette lighter, horn, wipers etc. but not a single one for the fogs. Where can I find it ?

on the passenger side on my car like right next to the windshield wiper filler theres a another small black box containing a "fog light relay" then on the drivers side near th battery there may be another 1 in there. if both stopped working at the exact same time then it has to a fuse or something. that or check if the bulbs are burned out

The guy who did my engine rebuild took a while to investigate the fogs. HE checked the relays under the hood, fuses and bulbs - everything is ok. However when he used that voltage measuring tool (again I don't know the word for it) he found out that there is no voltage coming from the foglights switch in the cockpit. Maybe there's no connection inside the main switch as the conectors have tarnished with time or something. Any other possibilities?
