^ I believe 92-94 didn't have fogs but had corner lights. It turns on when you turn on your signals. 95 and up had fog lights.

The product I'm using are yellow H3 55w bulbs I got off of eBay for $15. When I opened the packaging, I wasn't being careful enough and SLIGHTLY grazed both bulbs with the side of my finger. Could this be the culprit? Or perhaps the fuse? Or are some wires not connected?

I'm having the exact same problem. any help?

future reference clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol and use gloves/napkin to preventing oil touching the bulbs. Check your fuse box you for a blown fuse.

There are foglights on the bumper but absolutely no existence of a switch/button/toggle to turn it on. Where the hell is it?

Only the 95-00 SC's have fog lights. I also have a 93, and they come with cornering lights. You can wire them up so that they stay on all of the time instead of when you turn. Mine are setup that way, I just need to figure out how to change the bulbs to yellow ones.

It's a pain in the a$$ to change fogs in the SC. The best way to do this is to remove all of the shields along the bottom and remove the splash guards. As mentioned from the others, two 8mm nuts and one 8mm screw will be holding the housing in. The screw on top is a pain to reach. After you finally remove everything and realize the pain it was, you'll never want to do it again lol. What made things worse was to see that my brand new H3 HID kit didn't have a correct housing to my car and I would have to splice wires and dremmel my fog cover housing in order to make them work. I just gave up and put everything back together. I emailed the vendor and requested a refund today and they want a 25% restocking fee and of course I have to pay shipping. So, I'm about to either sell a brand new HID fog light kit in the classifieds section, or get some serious nerves and try again another weekend. Kudos to you guys that installed them, I'm going to stick with Halogens for a while.
