Default Fog lights stolen, replaced, now not working.

Fog lights were stolen some time ago. Bought a brand new set from a member on here and finally installed them last weekend. Driver side plug was stolen along with the fog so I replaced that with another one and wrapped everything up with electrical tape. Turn on the fogs, nothing, check for the 15a fuse and its blown. Replace it with another 15a, nothing. Put in a 20a, still no dice. Are there any other fuses or could their be a dead relay?

try taking another light and rigging it up and see if you have light.

If yes, then it's the lights you bought now.

If no, then start looking at relays,fuses, etc.

Get a voltmeter and check if there is voltage. Make sure you got the wires correctly.

The foglights for the 2nd Gen are so easy to steal I believe that Lexus corrected this in the 3rd Gen.

Damn, another case of stolen fog lights.... Haters just can't let others have nice things. x2 with a dvom (digital voltmeter), and check voltage at the fuse, then at the socket, figure out where its stopping.. Sorry to hear about this.
