Default Anyone had a Daytime Running light burn out 2004+?

Now my fogs don't come on. I can't be 100% sure, but I think if I replace the DRL bulb my fogs will work again? What are the odds that all 3 would blow out in the last 6 months or so (the last time I remember my fogs being on)????

Well, replaced the driver's side Daytime running light and the fogs still didn't come on. I went to Advanced Auto Parts and bought the "cool blue" replacement fogs and sure enough, both fog lights had burned out.

Oh, and you do NOT have to remove the wheel to get to the fog lights. I took off like 4 10mm bolts and reached up and twisted out the ballasts - it was easy.

Being realistic the bulbs should burn out about the same, they were put in at the same time and work together so why would one last significantly longer than the other??
