help with jdm fogs!

I need help on my fog lights. they just went out. I checked the bulbs and their okay. i checked the ground and its on tight. i checked the switch inside my car and the green light is on. i 'm stumped... I hear a clicking noise by my fuse box everytime i push the switch to on. I don't know what else it could be? does anybody know? i tried searching and nothing comes up with my problem. Help!

maybe something got disconnected? like the female/male connectors or maybe your lamps are not plugged into the sockets correctly or tight enough? could very likely be your bulbs even though they may look okay

the female-male connector is tight. i pulled it out and pushed it back in. The plugs in the back of the bulbs are tight. i pulled off and pushed it back on tight also. the bulbs itself they look fine. It's just kind of weird that both went out at the same time.

the bulbs may LOOK fine but could actually be burnt out. i've had this happen to me recently after buying some cheapo bulbs. autozone swapped them for me though.

If both of them went out at the same time I doubt it is the bulbs, but it would be wise to check those anyway. Next step would be to test the continuity of the ground wire (check the resistance between the ground wire and the ground pin in the exterior harness using a multimeter). If that turns out ok then I would check if you are getting 12 volts between the red wire in the harness and the ground when the switch is on. Good luck...
