Default depo fogs

i just put in oem fogs, got through the wiring...and the damn things wont turn on
the switch lights up and i can hear the relay clicking when i turn them on...but no light beam...can anyone think of anything that might be wrong?...i figured it must be between the relay and the lights themselves (yah, i checked the bulbs)...is it possible to directly test them to see if its the lights themselves that are whack or my wiring job??...thanks for any help

have you tried to turn the headlights on and see if that allows the fogs to work?

they are dependant upon at least the parking lights being on too.

pretty sure grounds are all set, i double checked them and moved them around just to make sure...but the switch is getting power, and so is the relay...but the lights themselves are not

the fuse is fine...this thing has me hella-confused...it seems rather unlikely that both fogs would be disfunctional, so i musta done something wrong...just dont know what

Do they have bulbs:squint:

Is there more then one way to have the wireing on the switch?? If there is then switch them around, I just hope that you dont blow a fuse

ha, yeah...they definitely do have bulbs, i wanted to make sure of that before i posted so that i didnt get ripped too hard...
the only thing left that i can think of is maybe the relay is bad?...it "clicks" when i hit tha switch, is this normal?...can these be found at any auto parts store or radioshack?
