So I've got these fog lights. I believe the little log is a Hella logo. Not sure if they are stock or not, though they seem to be. There is a switch in the cab, but when I flip the switch the indicator does not come on. Nor do the fog lights. Just trying to get a little help to see if I can bring these bad boys back to life. I have checked the bulbs and they do not appear to be burnt out. Any help is appreciated.

Did you check for blown fuse? That would be the first thing I do, next would be to just re-wire them. By the time you trouble shoot and figure out what's wrong you can probably re-run new wiring and switch.

I have these same fogs. They are a PITA, or atleast mine are. The depth isnt quite enough so the H3 bulbs bottom out and short themselves. I've gone through 6 bulbs since I've owned the truck (2 years). I'm looking at replacing them with PIAA fogs here soon.

But for trouble shooting if you're any good with a meter, check your contacts at the switch for power, and continuity to verify the switch is good. Then the leads at the plugs that should be in the bumper for the fogs. Fuses are somewhere in line there I'm sure that would need to be verified good. My bet is a fuse is blown but its possible to be the switch.
