Default help!! fog lights don't turn on anymore.

i went to dinner with my mom last night in my '93 ES, and when i started the car and turned on the lights, i have the fog's set to on, so the always come on when i turn on my lights. but that night... i turned on the lights, and yep you guessed it, they DIDN'T TURN ON. i checked the connectors to the fog's today, but i noticed nothing wrong. i tried to see if it was a bad connector by flipping the on-off switch a few times, but it didn't work.

anyone have any info to help me? thanks!

Question Not that cheap...

Oh, I cleared out my fogs and have hyperwhites in thier. Thats why it will cost a little more then 3$.. I could just put the normal ones in, but oh well. Plus the are H5 bulbs.. thanks anyway...

since my foglights are still broken, and my own work on the car can't find a reason why they'd both be dead at the same time, i was wondering if this is worth bringing into a shop to get it checked.

Since they both went out at the same time, it is unlikely that the bulbs are the problem. A connection at the lights is also unlikely since the odds of both going bad at the same time is slim. I would guess it's something in the switch that turns them on or along those lines, which would probably require a professional to fix. If you'd like your fogs, that's probably your best option.
