Both fog light not working, not fuse, advice?

So i notice my 08 fit sport's fog lights are both out one day. I think it is kind of weird for both light bulb to go out at once. I check the fuse and it is good. The indicator on my dash do light up when I flip the switch. There is voltage at the fuse terminal.

I hesitant to try to check the bulbs because it's a chore to get it off from what I read (remove bumper I think).

Can it be the relay etc?

Thanks

Not familiar with the wiring harness if there's an extra relay somewhere. But first the obvious, how did you check the fuse? Visual? Meter? Sometimes they look good but are electrically open. Was it the right fuse you checked? Just simple rechecks... If the fuse is blown, I would swap it with like fuse and recheck the lights. Just me.

If all the obvious have been covered, then you'll have to check the bulbs. Bad bulbs have also been known to short out the circuit. Good luck!

I have a fuse checker and it returned "ok".

I think I have to check the bulbs...

Is there any trick to get it off or I have to take the bumper off?

Sorry, haven't done it yet and don't have the car right now to look. But look around the forum... The DIY area.

#1 fuse 7.5A, #9 fuse 20A, #22 fuse 7.5A, #60 fuse 50A

Check em all.

As far as getting to the fog bulbs - housing is held on w/ 2screws. Simply remove them.

only reason to removing the front bumper is when you are installing OEM fogs on your Fit that was not equipped from factory with them?
After the fogs are installed, there are two screws per side. Once the screws are out, pull forward and out as to release it from the bumper. It has tabs holding it in on that side.
Really simple process actually.

Thanks, you guys are right about the screws. Do I just pull hard to remove the fog from the wire? Feels tight, don't want to break it. Is there any taps holding the bulbs? I can't pull the fog light all the way out, only enough so I can put my hand in there and attempt to pull the bulb out.

Are all these fuses related to fog lights not working? 07 Fit has the same issue.

Worked when we left the house, quit on the highway.

Where is the fuse panel located?

Thanks:
