Fog Lights

Are you talking about the fog lights in the front bumper. If so you will need a new switch, this is the one that turns your lights on and possibly activating. Thumbs Up

Could be a faulty switch alright

Did they work before and have suddenly stopped working?

Provided you bought it from a garage, best to bring it back to your dealer - may be just a faulty switch so they shouldn't cause to much of a fuss to replace it foc Thumbs Up

Tis an easy removal, the Side vent needs to come off. The Top is hooked under the top of the dash, so you need to pull from the bottom, the switch pack is held in by torx screws, 5 min job



Passenger Side I know, but shows the push clips at the bottom, and hooks at top Thumbs Up

Maybe it wasnt foggy??

Do you know these are an automatic only feature on this model/year car?
