recent converted from povo spec blanking covers to front fogs.

fitted a working switch
fitted the 2x 7a fuses
fitted the relay

foglights still aint coming on. so im gonna guess the fog bulbs need replacing themselves.

anyone know what type they are? dont really want to have to get under my car in this weather!

Have you tried bridging the wires at the switch to ensure the wiring is up to scratch, or providing a direct feed to the fogs? It would be pretty rare for both bulbs to to have blown.

Assuming this is a facelift car, you don't need to get under the car to check or replace the bulbs. The whole light comes out frontwards by unscrewing a single screw.
Unplug and plug in the relay with the foglights turned on. It should click as it comes out and goes in.
Does the front foglight warning light work?
Do the rear fogs work?
