fog lights not working? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

well i had some shitty ebay fog light bulbs laying around my appt and i said what the hell and put them on my car last week. well i hit a big bump in the road and one stopped working. i found that if i jiggled the wire it would turn on. so i was messing around with it today and got it working. but then smoke started coming out of the housing. so i left the lights on and tried to pull the bulb to see where the smoke was coming from. as i was pulling the bulb it sparked and now both my lights dont work. my question is, is there an individual fuse for the fog lights? i looked around and couldnt find anything. bulbs didnt look like they were blown. so im just assuming its a fuse somewhere. if anyone knows anything let me know. thanks Josh

Check the fuse listed there.

Yes, there is a fuse. Yes, you blew it. Yes, trying to unplug a bulb while it's on and smoking is pretty damn stupid.

i wasnt trying to uplog nor did i. i was trying to pull the light out of the housing to see where it was smoking from. ill see if i can get around checking the fuses tomorrow.
