you could have a crack in the light itself causing water to get in therefor blowing the lights. Just a thought

If not a fuse then it may be the foglamp switch itself

replace both of them with a set from PIAA or another reputable brand. the stockers suck. i've had problems with mine and replaced them with set from walmart. they actually worked well -much better than stock, but the lense got smashed by a rock. i am now buying some higher quality lights. use the existing wiring and switch and you're all set -provided you dont have another problem with the wiring. when i first bought my truck, it had a broken lense so i checked on factory replacements. they want like a hundred bucks just for one housing. lenses are not sold seperately. just make sure you have a six-pack (or more) handy when you do the install. they make it so only the stock ones will fit right. you will need to play around with the new ones a bit to mount them. better than getting raped by the dealer though! good luck

Oh dear me, I know all about the factory rip off, I want to replace my fog lights on my 98 ram 1500 and the dealer wanted 100. for each and 200. for install, I have not a clue about installing them and neiter does my husband so I'm guessing I will have to play with any new ones I get, and as for getting them at Wal-Mart, I work at a super Center and the guy told me I'd be paying up the butt ( for rewiring) to get any of our stuff so I just walked away from that idea...
Why make our lives so hard when it comes to making our toys look and run better....
