Hey guys - did a search prior and couldnt find anything solid yet. I got my C43 a year ago, the fog lights never worked. This weekend I had the time and will to finally check why - saw that the fuse was blown. I put a new fuse in and they lit up right away....then changed the bulbs to a newer "white" kind to match my xenon kit and they worked most of the day. Then stopped at a store and got back in and the fuse blew again upon turning them on.

Im thinking a short or a broken relay? The car was previously hit in the front and had a new bumper put on from the previous owner + lights, grille.

Where should I start looking, or is this common?

My bad. it's your fog lights that's why there's no igniter.

Correct bulb and fuse yes. I'll have to investigate for a short or relay
